Heavy rain slams Finger Lakes: Temps will drop throughout Monday

It’s going to be a wet start to the week for the Finger Lakes.

The National Weather Service issued a Flood Warning for most of the region — which included Yates, Wayne, and Ontario counties. Heavy rainfall was being recorded and was causing serious issues on roadways.

While that rainfall is expected to be heavy off-and-on throughout the evening — first responders have been busy with flooded basements and roadways that are also experiencing flooding.

In just over the last week, much of the region has seen several inches of rain. It’s a shift in the weather pattern, which hadn’t been seen in recently — until this past week.

A cold front is expected to slide through Monday morning, which will pull temperatures down with it. While high temperatures are expected to be in the low-50s for most of the Finger Lakes — those highs will be experienced during the early-morning hours.

Temperatures will then slide back through the 40s, and settle in the low-40s by afternoon.

The rainfall will taper to showers by afternoon — setting up for a cool, but sunny Tuesday. Temperatures the next couple days in the Finger Lakes will top out in the mid-40s.
