Your Cortland County weather forecast for Monday, December 6, 2021:

The rain will become more scattered again in the mid and late afternoon hours. This evening, a few snow showers will be possible, with little to no accumulation expected.

The wind will shift to the west-southwest behind the front and will continue to blow at 10-15 mph. Most gusts will be near or under 30 mph, but a few isolated stronger gusts are not out of the question.
