SYRACUSE, N.Y. \u2014 <\/span>After a couple of nice weather days for Syracuse and central New York, I have some genuine weather concerns as we go through the overnight hours and getting closer to sunrise Thursday.<\/p>\n

First off, we have some wind advisories that go into effect starting at 4 a.m. for general strong winds out of the south and southwest.<\/p>\n

A large pressure change between low pressure to our west and a Bermuda high pressure system to our south and east is causing this high wind setup.<\/p>\n

\"WIND<\/div>\n

Now on top of general high winds in the atmosphere there will be a warm front sweeping through and bringing us some rain, heavier downpours, thunder, lightning, gustier winds and more.<\/p>\n

\"SEVERE<\/div>\n

As you can see on the map above most of CNY is under a marginal risk, which is similar to a 1(very low chance, but not zero) on a scale of 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest of chances.<\/p>\n

With warm fronts there can sometimes be some air moving in different directions with height and this could allow for some spinning or twisting of air that may yield a tornado warning or two, otherwise a few severe thunderstorm warnings could happen with high winds aloft being brought down to the surface via a downdraft.<\/p>\n

Either way you slice it the window for severe weather is anytime between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m. Thursday when a few storms could cause tree and powerline damage leading to a few power outages. A tornado warning is possible along with some small hail and flash flood warnings too. <\/p>\n

Let’s track the storms first, then the general high winds.<\/p>\n

The warm front clears our area by mid-morning Thursday (9 a.m.) then the sun comes out and heats us up to near 80 with a couple more storms possible in the afternoon otherwise just partly sunny.<\/p>\n

Beyond Thursday’s active weather Friday, Saturday and Sunday which is Father’s Day and this first day of summer at 4:24 a.m., the weather looks pretty quiet.<\/p>\n

Most of the time we’ll simply see some clouds, some sun out each day and only the smallest chance of some sprinkles or a brief shower. <\/p>\n

That being said most of Friday through Sunday it will not be raining and outside plans look just fine with comfortable temperatures during the day and at night.<\/p>\n

\"EXTENDED<\/div>\n

Please check back with our forecast update at 10 p.m. on CW6 as well as on NBC3 at CBS5 news at 11 p.m. Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Meteorologist Sam Postitch will be LIVE on NBC3 from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m.. tracking the high wind gusts along with any severe thunderstorms that may be in the area.<\/p>\n

Have a good rest of the night!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
