ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Yellow Alert Tuesday for heavy rain and thunder at times this morning. No widespread flooding is expected but be prepared for wet roads and big puddles so keep speeds down while driving. Heavy rain will taper to more scattered showers and thunderstorms into the late morning and afternoon hours. The day will not be a washout, but if outdoors, be ready for pop-up strong storms and downpours. Rainfall amounts overall do not appear to be excessive with total in the half inch to inch and a half range into tonight. Showers will continue into Wednesday, but the heavy rain threat should be well to our east so Threat Tracker will go back to green.
Showers linger into Thursday morning before clearing during the day. Much better weather on the way for Friday. Hopefully we can hold on to that nice weather into the start of the weekend with some sunshine Saturday. Partly sunny Sunday with a scattered thunder threat to end the weekend and start next week. Stay tuned to News10 for latest on weekend forecast.
