Rochester Braces for Days of Cool, Wet Weather
ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Get ready for a chilly and damp week, Rochester! A large upper-level low-pressure system is settling over the region, bringing with it persistent lake-effect rain showers and cooler-than-average temperatures.
The wet weather kicks off tonight, with rain showers expected to pick up after midnight. Wednesday will see waves of off-and-on rain, most concentrated in areas west and south of Rochester, near Lake Erie. High temperatures will struggle to reach the lower 50s, accompanied by a brisk southwest breeze, with gusts up to 30 mph.
Thursday’s forecast mirrors Wednesday’s, with continued showers, cool air, and a noticeable breeze. While the low-pressure system begins to weaken on Friday, scattered showers will still be possible, primarily affecting the western Southern Tier and Tug Hill areas. Some of these locations could see several inches of rain by Friday evening.
The good news? The weekend looks promising, with rain chances diminishing. Saturday offers a slight chance of showers, while Sunday is expected to be fair, with the pleasant weather potentially continuing into early next week. However, temperatures will remain somewhat cooler than average.
Residents are advised to dress in layers and be prepared for potentially slick conditions, especially in areas prone to lake-effect rain.
