It must be spring in Central New York. The forecast is calling for rain, snow and thunder, all in one day.

The National Weather Service out of Binghamton says a complex storm system expected Wednesday and Thursday (4/21-4/22) will bring thunderstorms, a few possibly severe, and snow. "The location of the storms and swath of snow may change based on the track of the storm."

Wednesday will begin with rain. Then it'll mix with snow. Thunder will move in around lunchtime with isolated damaging winds possible. The snow returns just in time for the ride home.

Thursday doesn't get much better. It will be a little warmer, but it's still well below normal for this time of year. More snow and rain are expected with little to no snow accumulations. The higher elevations could see a few inches. In most areas it'll just be enough to be cause slippery roads for the Wednesday evening and Thursday morning commutes.

If you're travelling to Western New York, the storm will be more intense, especially around the Great Lakes. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect in the Buffalo area for 3 to 6 inches of heavy wet snow.
