SYRACUSE, NY (WSYR-TV) - - Mostly dry through sunset. - Rain arrives first to the Finger Lakes, then Syracuse tonight . - Warm, unsettled and muggy on Friday. - Weekend still looks pretty good right now. Rain returns tonight : High pressure that brought us dry weather Wednesday and Thursday has moved east. An area of low pressure and its fronts will swing in from the south and west tonight. This will bring some showers and a few storms by 9 p.m. for the Finger Lakes and at or shortly before midnight for Syracuse. Showers and storms continue into Friday morning before a warm front moves east and we dry out temporarily. Scattered showers and storms will likely develop Friday afternoon as well given the fact that it will be very humid plus a cold front will be approaching us from western NY. Some of these storms could be strong to severe late Friday afternoon , especially the more sunshine we see during the day. It does look like the shower and thunderstorm threat will be diminishing ...

By Alison Smith-Squire The cot was lined with cuddly toys, the bedroom curtains pulled half -way to allow the gentlest of rays to spill pools of sunlight on the carpet. Now and then, a smattering of squally summer rain hit the window - the only sound to interrupt the silence within. Inside the cot lay a beautiful baby boy . Dressed in a pastel-blue sleepsuit, his hair combed and his chubby face bath -time fresh, this was Charlie Gard, finally at home, where his parents, Connie and Chris, fought so hard for him to be. Advertisement Of course, this represents no victory for anyone. Charlie, who had passed away days earlier, was lying in a specially chilled "cuddle cot", allowing his family to spend more time with him before he was taken to a funeral parlour. The little boy actually took his last breath at 3.12 pm last Friday. A private moment with only his parents at his side. His respirator was withdrawn and he slipped away 12 minutes later. A quiet end to a l...

OUT OF THIS WORLD | What's Up In Space - a weekly look at the biggest news coming down to Earth from space Find Your Forecast Scott Sutherland Meteorologist/Science Writer Thursday, August 10, 2017, 11:37 - The peak of the Perseid meteor shower is brightening our night skies this weekend, but this year, there's some good news and there's some bad news. What and when? First off, the Perseid meteor shower , or simply 'the Perseids', is one of the best meteor showers of the year. Not only does it deliver up to 100 meteors per hour, at least under ideal conditions, but it has the highest number of bright fireball meteors of any meteor shower of the year. A fireball meteor is one that flashes at least as bright as the planet Venus is in our night sky (or enough to be visible despite typical levels of light pollution). The Perseids are caused when Earth passes through a stream of icy, rocky debris left behind by a comet known as 109P/Swift–Tuttle. The meteoroids...

Setting out on a FunShip Voyage to Cuba! The Carnival Paradise passes the historic El Morro Castle in Havana, Cuba, on its first voyage to the city on Friday, June 30, 2017. Photo courtesy of Sven Creutzmann/Carnival Cruise Line. August 14, 2017 Today, I embarked Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Paradise in her homeport of Tampa, Florida to set sail on one of Carnival’s newest and most unique itineraries: a five-night voyage to Havana, Cuba . Carnival Paradise arrived in Havana for the first time on June 30 of this year, becoming the first Carnival ship in the company’s 45-year history to ever visit Cuba. All of this was made possible by the easing of travel restrictions against the island nation by the U.S. Government – though how long this will all last is anyone’s guess.
