Lake Effect Showers and Clipper Systems in Rochester
A surface low-pressure system is moving off the Northeast coast, bringing light rain showers to the greater Rochester area on Saturday evening. These showers are expected to transition into lake effect showers south and east of Rochester overnight as cooler air wraps around the system. Temperatures will remain in the low 40s °F (5-6 °C) in Rochester and upper 30s °F (2-3 °C) in higher elevations. Breezy northwest winds of 10-15 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph, are anticipated. On Sunday morning, the system will move eastward, leaving behind a few light lake-enhanced showers east of Rochester. Winds will shift to west/southwest, gusting up to 35 mph, with temperatures reaching the mid-50s °F (12-13 °C) by Sunday afternoon.
