First Alert Weather: Yellow Alert continues amid thunderstorms, heavy rain

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A Yellow Alert remains up for strong to severe thunderstorms that are moving through the area.

Around 8:30 p.m., the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning for parts of Genesee County. The weather system that triggered it weakened by 9 p.m.

Any storm is capable of producing gusty winds, which could knock down weak limbs and down some power lines. Heavy rain could also produce some localized flooding in any training thunderstorms. The sky should clear overnight Monday.

High pressure will be the rule for the foreseeable future. Sunshine makes a return on Tuesday, with cool and comfortable temperatures in the lower 70s. Then we’ll feel a warm up nearly every day this week. Temperatures climb back into the upper 70s by mid to late week, then into the lower 80s late week and into the weekend, and also into next week.

In fact, we may be developing a blocking pattern, which would put us in a very dry stretch of sunny and warm weather likely into much of next week, as well.
