Weather forecasting involves analyzing atmospheric conditions including temperature, cloud types, pressure systems, and precipitation patterns to predict short-term and long-term weather changes. Meteorologists use tools like satellite imagery and radar to track weather systems, such as high pressure systems bringing clear skies and low pressure systems bringing clouds and precipitation. Forecasters assess severe weather risks by evaluating factors like wind gusts, rainfall amounts, and storm development potential, typically using a risk scale (e.g., Level 1 out of 5) to communicate potential hazards to the public.

Storm Team Forecast: 4 pm Tuesday May12thAdded:
Now, Storm Team Meteorologist John De [music] Pasquale with Central New York's most accurate forecast.
>> I was going to send to New York go, what a lovely view this is, isn't it, from our Pompey camera. You got the blue sky, some fairly cumulus clouds shrinking up, just kind of dotting the sky, and then in the distance, some wispy cirrus clouds. A very pretty picture here looking to the northwest towards Syracuse with our Pompey camera. Hope you got a chance to get out and enjoy it for at least a little bit. The strong May sun. We go from this view over to the Lowe's this morning. It was not so pleasant walking out the door early this morning, off to work and school. There's a nip in the air, a little Jack Frost.
Mid-20s to low 30s, many experiencing a freeze. I got down to 33 at the Syracuse airport. Not a record, though. Record 30, so let's stay safe, and our record cold drought continues here in Syracuse.
31 Fayetteville, likewise Cipio Center, 27° in Tully, 26 in 26 in Cincinnatus, 28° from Bob in Fabius. Got a 28 also in Redfield, 26 in Woodgate. So again, a frosty start. Uh hopefully that's the last time we have to deal with frost this spring season. Visible satellite showing we do have that veil of high clouds to the west, and eventually it thickens up into some uh mid-level clouds, and those clouds will move our way in here during the evening hours, but we are going to stay dry. We're near 60 here in Syracuse right now. Look at the 60s and 70s widespread to our south.
I do anticipate us getting into the mid-60s anyways for tomorrow before we take a step back Thursday, and then back into the 60s Friday, and check it out, kicking off the weekend, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 70s. That's right. Going to feel real, real nice. Satellite radar showing high pressure in charge, hence the beautiful weather today after the cold, frosty start. Low pressure with its fronts to the west, though, with some clouds and rain. This pushes in after midnight tonight. Time cast shows clouds increase during the evening. Here comes some rain near and after midnight tonight. Uh it gets a little steadier, maybe a little heavier at times toward morning. Temperatures rise from the mid-40s for an evening low to near 50 by morning and it's breezy late tonight, too. It's windy with rain tapering to a few spotty showers midday early afternoon with even some breaks of sun and that will get us into the 60's and then we'll see a line of showers and a few storms work in. Looks like after two or three tomorrow afternoon into early tomorrow night and a few of these storms may contain some gusty damaging winds and maybe a bit of hail. We'll keep an eye on them. That's again anytime after two or three tomorrow afternoon through about sunset tomorrow evening. There it is, your severe risk. It is low, but it's not zero. Level one out of five.
Greatest threat with any storm that develops will be damaging wind gust.
Rainfall amounts late tonight through tomorrow, half inch to an inch for the most part. A few spots may see a little bit more than that in a couple of thunderstorms early tomorrow evening. Your 7-day forecast showcasing yes, we've got cooler weather. After a milder day tomorrow, we're in the low and mid 50's on Thursday. There'll be a few showers and a little drizzle and mist around, lots of clouds, kind of blah and a bit breezy.
Friday, back into the 60's. Few lingering showers, but turning drier as the day goes on with more in the way of breaks of sun later in the day, so that's good news. Friday night's good.
Saturday, could be a few showers, but overall mainly dry and warmer 70's. We stay in the 70's, looks like Christie, for Sunday with the chance of a shower and then couple of shower and storms in summary early next week, Christie.
