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.
If the recent stretch of hot, dry weather was not your idea of nice weather, perhaps Thursday will be better.
Cooler, more seasonable temperatures are on our doorstep as a cold front makes slow but steady progress eastward.
The hottest, most intense part of the summer waited for early September, but will soon ease up on the Finger Lakes.
