I’m watching a warm, humid stretch build across the region over the next several days — and it’s worth paying attention to. Tonight stays mild and mostly clear as a ridge of high pressure slides east, with lows settling into the mid-to-upper 50s across most of the Finger Lakes. No frost concerns, no alerts — just a comfortable June evening.
Tomorrow is where things get interesting. The NWS is signaling highs pushing into the upper 80s, possibly touching 90° in the lake plain areas and deeper valleys around Geneva and Ithaca. That’s well above the seasonal norm. A 25% rain chance enters the picture Tuesday afternoon.
Then Wednesday the ridge breaks down and a more active pattern arrives — dense drizzle and showers Wednesday, scattered rain into Thursday, and thunderstorms possible Friday with highs hitting 90°. The week ahead is warm, humid, and increasingly unsettled.
