Temperatures have been running about 15 degrees above normal for the Finger Lakes over the last few days. Friday and Saturday will offer no change from that, with highs well into the 80s both days.
High pressure centered south of the Finger Lakes has a firm grip on the weather east of the Mississippi River.
The weather in the Finger Lakes this week will be picture perfect for early autumn with plenty of sunshine and warm, but not too hot temperatures.
A series of low pressures will move through the Finger Lakes this weekend, bringing some much needed soaking rain.
If the recent stretch of hot, dry weather was not your idea of nice weather, perhaps Thursday will be better.
