Northern New York is expected to begin Monday, Oct. 19, with a cold, frosty start before temperatures rise into the lower to mid-60s under mostly sunny skies. The forecast calls for mostly dry conditions across the North Country.
A sister-station forecast lists a high of 64 degrees, described as above normal, with a 0% chance of precipitation. Other forecasts put the high between 63 and 64 degrees. Weather Underground forecasts a low of 40 degrees in Watertown, while Time and Date lists 39 degrees and AccuWeather lists 38 degrees for Northeast New York.
The informnny wake-up forecast listed morning temperatures of 46 degrees in Alexandria Bay and Canton, 39 degrees in Harrisville, 35 degrees in Lowville and 44 degrees in Ogdensburg. It called for evening lows between 38 and 42 degrees, with light, variable winds.
The normal high for Watertown on Oct. 19 is 57 degrees, according to a Weather Underground almanac. The record high is 81 degrees. A Garden.org frost-date table estimates an approximately 80% chance of a 32-degree night in Watertown by Oct. 23, though that is a climatological estimate rather than a forecast.
Recent forecasts also pointed to the seasonal shift. The North Country forecast for Saturday, Oct. 17, called for a low of 34 degrees in Ogdensburg and widespread frost. Watertown was forecast to reach about 59 degrees Sunday after another cold start.
The cold morning could affect residents and travelers in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties, including the Watertown area, Fort Drum, the Thousand Islands and Tug Hill. Sunrise is expected around 7:20 to 7:24 a.m., with sunset around 6:09 to 6:12 p.m.
The National Weather Service Burlington office is the primary source for current weather alerts in the region. Forecast details can change, so residents should check the National Weather Service and local forecasts for updated frost, freeze and Tuesday information.
