A Refreshing Monday on Tap!

Written by John DiPasquale:

Record rains for yesterday, August 5th here in Rochester, & with yesterday's soaking from the strong to severe storms the last 11 or 12 days have entailed a little over 4" of rain!!  For this reason, come Thursday we should not be considered in a moderate drought.  If so, I'll be shocked!  Thank for the rains Mother Nature! 

The pre-frontal trough & cold front responsible for the rains yesterday have shifted well to the east, & all we had to deal with for a little while today were some strato-cumulus clouds that are now quickly evaporating & moving off to the south & east.  So the rest of today looks sweet & comfy! 

High pressure will provide a clear sky & comfortably cool temps tonight, & help us warm into the mid 80s Tuesday afternoon with more sun.  Humidity levels will remain in check on Tuesday too.

A cold front will drift through later Wednesday/Wednesday night with a few scattered showers & storms possible, but much of the day looks dry, very warm & muggy with highs between 85 & 90. 

Behind Wednesday's cold front, it will turn much cooler & probably eventually damp too by weeks end.  Even the upcoming weekend looks cooler than average!  Here come the 70s!  Stay tuned.
