Residents in Central New York, particularly those in areas east of the Syracuse-Ithaca-Elmira line, should prepare for scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon. While the storms are not expected to be severe, they may bring brief heavy rain and gusty winds. High humidity levels could make conditions uncomfortable, especially during the midday and early afternoon hours. The risk of flooding or severe weather is low, and air quality remains normal with no wildfire smoke detected.
