If the morning forecast had you bracing for clouds, the midday picture looks better than expected — skies are clear and temperatures have already climbed into the upper 60s across the region, with Corning touching 68° and Penn Yan at 69°. The afternoon should be pleasant, with highs reaching the mid-70s around Canandaigua and Geneva before conditions begin to change.
That change comes tonight. A cold front trailing a compact low tracking through Quebec will push through the Finger Lakes late this afternoon into the evening, bringing a chance of showers. The heaviest activity stays well to our northeast, so expect scattered, not widespread, rain here. Behind the front, Saturday turns noticeably cooler — dress accordingly.
