The solstice Sunday is delivering — 70° under mainly clear skies here in Geneva at midday, with highs still ahead of us. This afternoon stays comfortable regionwide, with highs reaching the mid-to-upper 70s: Geneva and Auburn top out near 75°, while Ithaca and Watkins Glen push closer to 78°. Light northwest breezes and dew points in the mid-50s keep humidity from being a factor.
Enjoy the afternoon. The change comes late tonight, when rain pushes in ahead of a surface low tracking east across the Ohio Valley. The NWS Buffalo office flags that guidance is still working out exact timing, but the general picture is showers arriving after midnight and continuing through Monday. Monday’s high drops to 66° with an 89% precipitation chance — noticeably different from today’s pleasant stretch.
For Father’s Day cookouts finishing up this evening, skies stay clear through sunset at 8:50 PM. The IMSA weekend at Watkins Glen arrives late next week — Friday and Saturday carry light drizzle chances at 38–56%, worth watching as that event approaches.
