Monday’s weather is a bit uncertain in how it will unfold, particularly in the later afternoon hours. At least a few scattered showers will pass through during the morning.

The area with the best parameters for storm development will likely be over the southeastern Finger Lakes. Heavy rain and perhaps some gusty winds could accompany any storms that manage to pop up, but many areas may end up dry through the afternoon. Highs will reach the upper 70s with high humidity with dewpoints around 70.
