An approaching cold front will bring widespread showers across central New York Wednesday night.  Looking back to our west the rain isn't too heavy. We are expecting a .10" to as much as .25" in a few spots. The cold front will move east of central New York before sunrise Thursday as so too will the rainfall. 

The air moving in behind tonight's cold front isn't all that much colder.  Temperatures on Thursday will push up into the mid 60s, and we should see a decent amount of sunshine as drier air returns to the northeast.

Another close call is in order for us at the end of the week  Low pressure is forecast to track east across Virginia Friday and central New York will be on the northern fringe of the clouds and precipitation from the system.  Areas south of Syracuse (such as the southern Finger Lakes and southern Tier) stand the best chance of seeing any showers.

We are keeping our eye on a change in our weather pattern that will be set off by the passage of Friday's storm.  It looks like this change could bring unseasonably cool weather as we go into the weekend, along with a good chance for clouds and showers.  If this weather pattern is "reinforced" by late weekend, the cool and damp weather would persist at least into the first part of next week.
