Cortland Weather Outlook: Sunday, September 20

Your Cortland County weather forecast for Sunday, September 20, 2020:

High pressure will keep a firm grip on our weather today and into the early portion of this week.

Like yesterday, temperatures are starting off very cold. Frost and freeze alerts will not be issued for Cortland County any more this season since the growing season is now considered over.

Sunshine will be bountiful through the morning and afternoon. Like on Saturday, just a few stray, small clouds will drift through from time to time.

The center of the high pressure will shift eastward slightly over Canada, taking up a position nearly due north of our area by the afternoon. This will cause winds to turn to a more northeasterly direction.

Wind speeds will be around 5 mph and gusts will top out between 15-20 mph.

High temperatures will top out in the upper 50s, but once the sun sets, temperatures will plummet through the 40s in a hurry. Frost and freeze conditions should be expected again tonight, even though no alerts will be issued.

Here is a look at the weather for the next several days:

Monday: Still mostly clear and sunny. Another chance for morning frost. Morning lows in the low and mid 30s. Afternoon highs near 60.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny. Morning lows in the upper 30s. Afternoon highs in the mid 60s.

Wednesday: Partly cloudy and warmer. Morning lows near 50. Afternoon highs in the low 70s.

Thursday: Increasing thing clouds. Morning lows near 50. Afternoon highs in the low 70s.
