CORTLAND, N.Y. — Central New Yorkers weary of the snow and cold can look forward to slightly warmer days in the final week of March, though rain showers will be prevalent toward the end of the week.
According to the National Weather Service, a storm system moving from Canada will result in rainy weather in parts of the Northeast Wednesday through Friday.
Temperatures will climb into the upper 40s under mostly sunny skies to start the week. Monday night, wind speeds will pick up and low temps will drop into the mid-20s.
