Most of the Finger Lakes should see between 1.5 and 2.5 inches of rain with locally higher amounts across the eastern Finger Lakes and Central New York.

Quick Updates & Important Links

Here are the latest expectations on the heavy rain event expected for the Finger Lakes, as well as a couple of links to help you stay informed.

My next update will come Monday morning.

  • Rain is unlikely to reach the ground in the Finger Lakes until after dark Sunday, even if the radar shows rain overhead.
  • Most of the region should see 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rain. The Southern Tier and eastern Finger Lakes are most likely to see over two inches with locally over 3 inches possible.
  • Rain amounts are expected to be higher in these areas due to a band of heavier rain that should develop Monday evening while areas further west begin to dry out.
  • Rain should be mostly over by Tuesday morning, with just a few scattered showers remaining.
  • The flood threat, with these rain amounts, is relatively low. Some flash flooding and small stream flooding will be particularly possible in the localized areas of 3+ inches Monday evening.
  • The amounts listed on the map above are general guidelines only. Amounts will vary from what is on the map.
  • Strong southeast winds of 35-45 mph will be possible and could lead to sporadic power outages.

    I’m looking for Goat milk soap. Where do you sell it. I like your site as well. I took meteorology at SUNY Oswego during the blizzard of1966 with Dr. Sykes. We called him the boy scout. He was a boy scout leader at the time and often came to class in his uniform. He said he would give an A to anyone who would go with him to measure the snow. I NEEDED an A, I was pretty awful in remembering cloud types. He was a great teacher and that winter we all carried “a big stick.” Cold, but fun. Thanks for doing a good job. But, I still need Goat milk soap
