There will be several storms moving across the area all week that are expected to all bring rain to much of the state.
The light coating of white we saw on the ground Sunday afternoon is likely all the snow we’ll see as part of several storms that will move across much of the state, including Canton, this week, according to the National Weather Service. The greatest chance of snow will come to the northwest of the two towns. On Monday night into Tuesday, the next storm will bring “mainly rain” to the area, the weather service said. Then on Tuesday night into Wednesday northwest winds could really pick up. Winds during that time could prompt a wind advisory, the weather service said. And finally, on Thursday night into Friday, another storm will again “probably bring mainly rain” with a greater chance of snow to start the storm for inland areas.

It has been a wet, muggy week in Canton. Expect more rain showers this week.
Although it is October and officially fall, the season to date has been feeling more like a sticky, summer than a crisp autumn in Canton. The National Weather Service is forecasting more rain for today, with a high of 64 degrees. Monday, there will be a chance of showers, patchy fog and partly sunny skies with a high of 65, according to the NWS. Expect more showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday, too. Hopefully, the autumn weather will kick in and it will be Thanksgiving before we know it. Someone may want to warn the wild turkey who has been a constant loiterer at the cemetery on Washington Street. He seems to prefer hanging out on the stone wall, observing the traffic.
