Right now, 72° and clear skies here in Geneva — a genuinely fine solstice afternoon with hours of usable daylight still ahead. Temperatures will top out in the mid-70s across most of the region, with Ithaca and Watkins Glen nudging closer to 78°. A light northwest breeze keeps humidity comfortable through late afternoon.
The change comes overnight. A surface low tracking east across the Ohio Valley will push a surge of moisture into the Finger Lakes after midnight, with showers developing and rain likely by Monday morning. NWS Buffalo notes some heavier bursts are possible embedded within the broader rain shield. Monday’s high drops to 66° in Geneva — a noticeable step down from today. Rain tapers Monday evening from northwest to southeast.
Tuesday brings lingering drizzle before a brief clearing midweek. Another round of showers is possible by Thursday. Enjoy this afternoon for what it is.
