I top dressed and seeded a bare area of my yard on September 16th. It’s been coming in nicely so far and I’m trying to determine when I should mow. It’s going to rain tomorrow and I likely won’t have another chance to mow for another 7-10 days. Would now be too early? I’ve read mixed reviews but have seen that cutting early and often can help it to fill in. I also think mulching some of the leaves would be good. Any advice would be great!

I would wait 10 days. Later is almost always better than too soon with seeding
I’d also recommend waiting the 10 days.
would wait , and get blower out to clear off leaves gently if you can
First mow, whenever it reaches 2.5 inches, mow it to 2 inches. Then subsequent mows at 3 inches (or higher).
Only mow when everything is dry. If anything gets matted down, fluff it back up with a leafblower on low power.
You should throw down some more seed
