Your Cortland County weather forecast for Friday, August 7, 2020:
Today’s weather will trend back towards unsettled, but it should by no means be a washout.
Some energy traveling along the jet stream through the Great Lakes will pull a stalled out front northward from the Mid-Atlantic. This will lead to scattered showers today.
The rain will be possible at any time, though much of the day will not actively have rain falling. A few periods of showers may be possible.
Within the scattered showers, a heavy downpour or a few rumbles of thunder could be possible. Severe weather and flooding are not expected.
Temperatures will make it to the mid 70s this afternoon during some of the dry periods. A little sun may make it out during these times, too.
Winds will be from the east and southeast at around 5 mph. Peak gusts will top out at 15-20 mph.
Scattered showers will continue into the evening as temperatures fall back into the 60s.
Here is a look at the weather for the next several days:
Saturday: A couple morning showers, followed by some sun in the afternoon. Morning lows in the low 60s. Afternoon highs in the mid 70s.
