ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — A weak low-pressure system will pass just south of the New York-Pennsylvania border later tonight and Sunday.

Look for mainly cloudy skies with the chance of a passing rain or wet snow shower. There could be an accumulation of just a coating of snow in the higher elevations south of Rochester. Most of the day will be spent in the upper 30s with a high temperature near 41 degrees. Monday will bring a few breaks of sunshine and it should be mainly dry with a high temperature in the upper 40s. Tuesday once again looks dry and mainly cloudy, but it will turn noticeably milder for the afternoon. The high temperature in the low to middle 50s.

The next storm will be gathering strength in the upper great lakes and will eventually move east towards Western New York. However, before that happens it will turn even milder by Wednesday.
