From Meteorologist Jeannette Calle{/strong}

Mist, drizzle and a stray shower in the area today. Humidity levels will be climbing and this transition often brings a pattern like this. Now later in the day, breaks of sun may fight through the clouds and give us a warmer day, in the lower 70s. Southern sections could push 80 degrees with enough sun.

We'll see patchy morning clouds Wednesday and Thursday too. Thursday has a chance for early mist, drizzle or a shower as well as high humidity is surging in ahead of our next cool front. By the afternoon Thursday, variably cloudy skies with a shower ot two possible. The cool front will push into our far western tier counties between 11pm - 1am and kick up some showers or storms out west. There will be an isolated strong to severe storm risk out west from 11pm Thursday to 3am Friday. These storms will have a tendency to weaken as they move east but would spread some welcome rainfall to parts of the area. This also represents our best chance for decent pockets of measurable rain. Anything before Thursday is a .10" or less overall.
