Your Cortland County weather forecast for Monday, August 16, 2021:
An increase in moisture from the south will lead to thickening clouds today and a few showers tonight.
The daytime hours are expected to stay dry. Thin clouds high in the atmosphere will filter the sunshine through the morning. Afternoon fair weather clouds will develop and the clouds higher in the atmosphere will thicken.
That should leave skies with more clouds than sun through the afternoon hours.
