Your Cortland County weather forecast for Sunday, February 27, 2022:
A cold front will bring an afternoon burst of snow to the area.

The front should arrive during the mid to late afternoon hours. Accompanying the front will be a squall with brief but heavy snow. Rapidly changing road conditions and low visibility will make for a small period of hazardous travel.
