At midday, the Finger Lakes are putting up some of the nicest numbers of the week — Ithaca leading the pack at 80° under clear skies, while Geneva sits at 76° with humidity around 50%, making it feel genuinely comfortable rather than heavy. The day is tracking cleanly toward forecast highs in the low-to-mid 80s by mid-afternoon.
No alerts are in effect. Dewpoints stay in the upper 50s through the afternoon, so even as Canandaigua and Watkins Glen push toward 83–85°, it won’t feel oppressive. Winds remain light and southerly at 4 mph or less regionwide.
Looking ahead: Saturday stays mostly sunny with highs near 84° and only a slim shower chance along the Lake Erie corridor. The pattern shifts Sunday — multiple disturbances working over the region through the early week will bring light drizzle and better rain chances, particularly Monday through Tuesday with precipitation probability hitting 62–72%. Enjoy the weekend while it’s dry.
