Watertown hasn't had precipitation-free weekend since last year
May 23—WATERTOWN — Rainy weekends have been a real phenomenon that north country residents have been feeling for months on end. That's according to the latest data from the State Weather Risk Communication Center at the University of Albany, published on Facebook by the state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services. In fact, according to the data from SWRCC, the last time the Watertown area had a weekend without any precipitation was Dec. 14 and 15, 2024, a graphic shows. Phillip Pandolfo, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Buffalo, said the north country has been stuck in a cold, dreary pattern because of low pressure systems, which can be common in the spring. "They tend to stick around wherever they set up," he said. This current low pressure system came from the Midwest, Pandolfo said, and settled over Lake Ontario, bringing rain and cold to the north country throughout the week. "These types of weather systems are very normal in spring," he said. Memorial Day weekend is looking to be another rainy, cold end of the week before the weather starts to take a turn on Sunday with highs expected to be close to 60 degrees with a "lower end chance" of rain, according to Pandolfo. Memorial Day itself seems to be the best chance for a nice day as there is less than a 20% chance of rain with temperatures in the mid-60s, Pandolfo said. Another low pressure system is set to make its way into the north country again as the week progresses, but there is "a lot more uncertainty" about that system, Pandolfo said.
