Warm start to a rainy stretch heading into the weekend

By the time we are into the warmer air mass Friday, there is a higher possibility of showers and thunderstorms compared to Thursday courtesy of an approaching cold front. Much like Thursday, there is a low threat of severe weather for Friday, but a few storms could feature damaging wind gusts and hail during the afternoon and early evening particularly near and south and east of Syracuse. Highs on Friday will top out in the low to mid 70s, and it will feel a touch humid once again too.
Warmer weather returns Thursday, some storms too

While we don’t expect a return of 80s, it does look like Syracuse should hit 70 again Thursday then on Friday as well. Usually when warmth tries to return so quickly after a cooldown like we just had, we would expect some precipitation to return. While most of Thursday looks dry, there will likely be a few scattered showers and even some thunder around toward sunset Thursday evening with a warm front approaching.
