Enjoy the calm while it lasts. Clear skies and mild temperatures are settling in across the region this evening — Corning topped out at a pleasant 72° today, while Penn Yan and Bath stayed in the mid-60s. Overnight lows will drop into the low-to-mid 50s under clear skies, with no frost concerns tonight.
Tomorrow is a different story. The National Weather Service has placed the Finger Lakes under a Marginal Risk for severe weather Saturday, as a strong cold front charges in from the west. Expect a dry morning, but shower and thunderstorm activity will ramp up quickly Saturday afternoon, with the heaviest action likely Saturday evening into the night. Damaging wind gusts are the primary threat. Stay weather-aware if you have outdoor plans — this front means business.
Cooler air follows the storms into Sunday and Monday before temperatures rebound toward seasonal normals by Tuesday.
