A cold front will push through the region overnight Friday. Showers and a few rumbles of thunder will precede the front, especially Friday evening.

High pressure has built into our region, finally pushing the front that has been pestering us since the weekend far enough south that we will not see any clouds and rain from it.

A frontal boundary remains stalled out over the Mid-Atlantic, resulting in clouds and cool temperatures for the Finger Lakes.

A cold and soggy Sunday has lead into a cold and not-quite-as-soggy Monday.

The stage is set for a very hot, humid first part of Saturday followed by the threat for excessive rain and a few strong storms later this afternoon.
