"Rapid Weather Swings: Record Warmth, Powerful Storms, and High Wind Threats Across NY"

Upstate New York is in for a rollercoaster of weather over the next few days, with potentially record-breaking warmth today and Wednesday followed by a strong cold front bringing damaging winds and a flash freeze. This will be succeeded by a blast of heavy lake effect snow in Central New York. High wind alerts have been issued, with gusts nearing 60 mph, and temperatures are expected to drop rapidly, raising the risk of a flash freeze. Thursday could see up to 8 inches of lake effect snow in some areas, making it potentially the snowiest day of the winter.
