I am getting small intermittent freezes (about every 5s) which seem to be linked to changing overcast value on the server and the new weathersync code.

Steps To Reproduce
Start the attached repro mission (use a dedicated server!), after 5s you should have overcast skies, set with:
skipTime -24;
86400 setOvercast 1.0;
skipTime 24;
sleep 5;
simulWeatherSync;
Let it run for a few minutes (at least 5), there should be no freezes.
Open action menu and select "Start server weather change". When triggered, the server will execute:
900 setOverCast 0.0;
sleep 900;
900 setOverCast 1.0;
sleep 900;
900 setOverCast 0.0;
After a while (can take minutes too), for me this causes intermittent freezes every few seconds.

Additional Information
Serverside overcast value can change much faster than clientside values anyway. :P
