The split across the region right now is worth noting — Geneva and Canandaigua are sitting under mainly clear skies at 70°F while Ithaca, Auburn, Watkins Glen, and Penn Yan are still catching light to moderate drizzle as residual low-level moisture from that deep low pressure system tracking into the Gulf of St. Lawrence hangs on across the eastern and central lakes. That drizzle should wrap up before midnight as westerly winds back off with the loss of daytime heating.
Overnight lows settle into the upper 50s regionwide — no frost concerns tonight, and no alerts carry past 8 PM. The Beach Hazards Statement for Lake Ontario-facing shores expires this evening; wave action will diminish as winds ease.
Saturday looks like the payoff. Mainly clear skies and highs near 73° in Geneva with light winds — a genuinely comfortable late-June day. Enjoy it. A more unsettled pattern begins building Sunday night into Monday, with an increasing chance of widespread rain and a few thunderstorms arriving by early next week.
