First Alert Weather: Rain exits Thursday night, but returns this weekend


ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Yellow Alert from Thursday is over, as the main storm threat has ended. The steadiest rain exits by midnight, and we’ll be left with a mild and muggy night with a few occasional showers. Some showers will linger into Friday, with the chance for a few isolated thunderstorms, mainly south of Rochester in the Finger Lakes into the afternoon.


Our weather turns more unsettled and cooler into the weekend, with some showers both weekend days, and highs falling back into the 50s. Next week will also be unsettled to start, with off and on rain showers and some periods of rain through Monday and Tuesday, before drying out more toward the middle of next week. Overall temperatures will be average to above average through much of next week.
