The Beach Hazards Statement along the northern Cayuga shoreline expires at 7 PM tonight — after that, the focus shifts to a quiet overnight and a warmer Tuesday ahead of what’s building later in the week. Skies are overcast in Geneva right now at 65°, with partly cloudy conditions across most of the rest of the region.
Overnight, expect clouds to linger and temperatures to ease into the low 50s regionwide — no frost risk, no meaningful precipitation. Tuesday looks like the pick of the next several days: highs climb to near 74° in Geneva under mostly dry conditions, with light winds and a low drizzle chance that shouldn’t amount to much.
The story that matters is Wednesday into Thursday. A strong surface low will track northwest of the region, with NWS Buffalo flagging a warm front Wednesday bringing scattered showers and a few thunderstorms, particularly from the Finger Lakes toward eastern Lake Ontario. Wednesday night into Thursday, a low-level jet strengthens and wind gusts to 25 mph or higher are possible inland. Thursday’s rainfall looks heavier, with Geneva forecast to see a 76% precipitation probability — the wettest stretch so far this month.
The weekend brings some relief, with clearing skies by Friday and highs settling into the low 70s.
