Rochester, NY — After a period of wet and windy weather, residents of Rochester can expect some relief Thursday morning. Lingering lake-effect rain or wet snow showers may still appear early in the day, but conditions should clear up, allowing sunlight to return.
Winds will remain noticeable in the morning, but will gradually ease by the afternoon, making travel and outdoor activities more manageable.
Friday: Dry Start, Rain Moving In
Friday will begin dry, offering a brief respite for residents. However, a new batch of rain is expected to move in quickly. While it will be breezy, wind speeds are predicted to be less intense than earlier in the week, providing slightly calmer conditions for commuters and outdoor plans.
Weekend Forecast: Mixed Conditions
Saturday will be the drier day of the weekend, with only a passing rain shower possible. Residents can expect partly sunny skies and relatively calmer weather.
By Sunday, another storm system will move in, bringing rain and breezy conditions. Winds will pick up, and temperatures will drop as a colder air mass moves into the region.
Early Next Week: Flurries and Lake Snow
The colder air could produce flurries or lake-effect snow showers on Monday, particularly near Lake Ontario. By Tuesday, conditions may turn more wintry, with minor snow accumulations likely in localized areas affected by the lake’s influence.
The First Alert Weather Team advises residents to stay updated on forecasts, particularly for commuting and travel, as conditions may change rapidly over the next several days.
