Rochester, NY, experienced widespread rainfall on Monday, with occasional downpours.
Showers are expected to become more scattered through the evening as a warm front moves through Western New York, bringing humid air from the lower Great Lakes.

Impact & Risks

While the chance of strong storms on Tuesday is low, isolated storms could bring gusty winds, heavy downpours, and hail. The Weather Prediction Center has placed Rochester and surrounding areas under a marginal risk (5%) for isolated flash flooding through Wednesday due to potential oversaturation of the ground from accumulated rainfall. Residents should remain cautious, especially during outdoor activities in the evening.
