Wednesday's rain was the most in a single day for June ever recorded. It was the 11th most rain of all days in Rochester.

Finger Lakes this weekend? Water temperatures are running below average. Runoff from recent rains certainly hasn't helped.

We've got a nice afternoon, despite the wildfire smoke overhead. Storms Saturday focus very early and very late. Only isolated in the afternoon. Sunday... HOT.
