Mohawk Valley Weather About to Play Games — Rain Moves In, Temps Swing Wild This Week

A messy mix of rain, brief warm-ups, and sharp cooldowns will keep Mohawk Valley residents guessing day-to-day.

If you stepped outside this morning and thought, “What the heck is this weather doing?” — you’re not alone.

Right now, the Mohawk Valley is sitting in a moist, unstable pattern, and it’s setting the stage for a week that’s all over the place.

🌧️ Today (Tuesday)

Rain is already working through parts of the region, with periods of showers and cloudy skies sticking around most of the day. Temps may climb toward the upper 60s to near 70, but don’t let that fool you — it’s a damp, gray kind of warmth.

Low-lying areas and poor drainage spots could see minor flooding or pooling water, especially during heavier bursts.

🌬️ Wednesday–Thursday: Cooler & Unsettled

By midweek, things shift again:

Temps drop back into the low 50s

Morning showers linger

Breezy conditions make it feel colder than it actually is

Not a total washout — but definitely not a “leave the jacket at home” type of stretch.

🔥 Friday–Saturday: Here Comes the Fake Spring

Now here’s where it gets interesting…

Temps jump into the mid to upper 70s

Feels like spring finally showed up

But… rain and drizzle still hang around

👉 Translation: Warm, yes. Nice? Not really.

⚠️ Sunday–Early Next Week: Back to Reality

Just when you start getting comfortable:

Temps drop back into the 40s

Rain returns again

Overnight lows flirt with freezing

Yeah… welcome to Upstate New York.

🧠 What’s Actually Going On

This isn’t random — it’s a battle between warm and cold air masses.

Warm air tries to push in → temps spike

Cold air fights back → temps crash

Moisture sits in the middle → rain, clouds, and unstable conditions

That’s why the forecast looks like a rollercoaster instead of a straight line.

📍 TVOTT Take

Let’s keep it real:

❌ Not a severe storm week

❌ Not a total washout

✅ But definitely not a stable pattern

👉 Expect:

Random rain

Sudden temperature swings

That classic “should I wear a hoodie or a t-shirt?” struggle
