The rain gauge here at the Weather Center in Geneva has been climbing since this morning — 62° at midday, humidity at 92 percent, with moderate rain still falling. Conditions are nearly the same from Auburn down to Bath, making this a genuinely region-wide soaker rather than a spotty afternoon shower.
The NWS Buffalo office has been tracking a shortwave trough pushing northeast out of the Ohio Valley, with a warm front draped across the area amplifying the rain-producing lift. That combination is keeping steady, moderate rain in place through much of the afternoon. Thunderstorms remain possible near the New York-Pennsylvania border, where instability is slightly higher — Corning and Elmira residents may hear rumbles before the system lifts out.
Rain tapers through the evening as the trough clears northeast, with skies gradually brightening overnight. Tuesday returns to overcast but dry conditions, with highs climbing back to 74°. The rest of the week features a brief return of drizzle Thursday and Friday before a mostly clear, warmer Sunday near 81°.
