Your Finger Lakes Weather forecast for Cortland and the surrounding areas for Sunday, January 12, 2020:
Temperatures will return to more seasonable levels by this afternoon thanks to a series of strong cold fronts.
The first front already moved through in the hours after midnight, dropping temperatures from near 60 back into the 50s. The more substantial push of cold air will come later this morning.
Once the second cold front moves through, expect a quick drop through the 40s and into the 30s by lunchtime. The rest of the afternoon will have a slower drop into the mid, then low 30s.

Winds will continue to howl this morning with gusts over 40 mph from the southwest, then west. As winds continue to turn to the northwest, wind speeds will drop this afternoon.
