...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS ARE EXPECTED THIS

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS CENTRAL NEW YORK AND NORTHEAST

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY AND PRECEDE IT. THE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE, WITH WIND

THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE FINGER LAKES AND

AFFECT THE INTERSTATE 81 CORRIDOR BETWEEN 2 PM AND 5 PM, THEN
