Narrative:

During ATC assigned level off at FL320 we received hyd 3 lo press and ib ground splrs cautions. Also displayed were several status messages regarding electrical ties. Captain took control of the aircraft and the radios and called for the hyd 3 lo press QRH. Ran the QRH which only asked for 3b pump on and monitoring of system with sufficient pressure. No further action but we noticed gen 2 was not operating properly. We [advised ATC] over being down to one generator and back up hyd 3 pump. We started to return to ZZZ as quickly and safely as possible. We were faced with the added challenge of wind shear reported on 2 mile final as storms moved through the terminal area. On short final we got two instances of positive wind shear followed by a good landing.
