If you stepped outside today and thought, “Finally, we’re getting somewhere,” don’t get too attached to it.

Right now across the Mohawk Valley, we’re sitting in that sweet spot — mid to upper 70s, partly cloudy skies, nothing too crazy. It’s the kind of weather that makes you want to fire up the grill or take a ride with the windows down.

But here’s the catch — this is the calm before the mess.

By late afternoon into the evening, things start shifting. Clouds build up, the air gets heavy, and rain starts moving in. And not just a quick sprinkle either. We’re talking a steady push of rain with chances climbing over 80 percent through the night.

If you’ve got plans tonight, you better have a backup or be ready to get wet. This is the kind of rain that shows up right when people think they’re in the clear.

Temperatures will start dropping as the night goes on, sliding from the upper 70s down into the 50s. By early morning, we’re waking up cooler, damp, and wondering where that nice day went.

Then comes the real kicker.

Heading into the weekend, that warm stretch doesn’t just fade — it drops off hard. We’re talking highs dipping into the 40s and 50s again. Yeah, you read that right. One day you’re comfortable in a t-shirt, next thing you’re digging the hoodie back out like winter never got the memo.

This is classic Mohawk Valley weather — give you a taste of spring, then yank it right back just to keep you humble.

So here’s the bottom line:
Enjoy the warmth while you’ve got it today. Tonight brings the rain, and the weekend reminds you we’re not fully out of the woods yet.
