Lake effect the big story in Central New York later in the week. Through midweek, though, it is mild with some rain/showers. Even Thanksgiving snow showers won't amount to much in Syracuse. Biggest impact day for SYR is Friday. Likely some localized spots of 6" or more.

After a cold night last night (Syracuse dropped to 24°!) look for another frosty start over Central New York Thursday morning. Thankfully, sunshine gets our temperatures back into the 40s in the afternoon.

Today was the first day over the last 10 that Syracuse had no measurable precipitation. There was a little snow in the air before sunrise which means only three of the first 18 days this month have been totally rain/snow free.

An active weather pattern for the first week of November in Syracuse/CNY. There was a gusty breeze today and the wind is up tomorrow and yet again on Wednesday. It looks like another windy day on Friday, too.

Less rain tonight and tomorrow compared to today in CNY. Wind becomes a bigger issue in the afternoon and evening Friday (for Trick or Treaters) There are likely wind gusts past 40 mph, especially over higher terrain.

It will be a damp couple days Thursday/Friday in CNY. However, it looks like a changeover to snow Friday evening with a light accumulation (trace-2") over the Tug Hill and parts of the Adirondacks.

A cool start to the final weekend in October for Central New York. Syracuse may touch 50° Saturday but some will not. The chill will last into next week even though early in the week we'll see more sun.

Lake effect the main issue the next few days over Central New York. No snow just yet, but heavy rain instead. Parts of Jefferson and extreme Northern Oswego Counties by Thu eve could be looking at more than an inch of rain with some thunder and lightning. #nywx

Lots of sun Thursday but winds gusting just past 20 mph during the afternoon likely makes it feel like it is in the 40s across CNY.

Even colder weather expected across Central New York tonight. A good chance that if you are under Freeze Warning (including Syracuse) you could be looking at the end of the growing season. #nywx
