ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The warmer weather has finally arrived, and many of us are eager to get outside and enjoy our favorite waterways. But before taking that first swim of the season, it’s worth asking: Is the water warm enough? Water temperatures across the Finger Lakes continue to rise, although the warming process is gradual. Recent readings show many of the Finger Lakes, including Keuka, Seneca, Conesus, and Canandaigua, now reaching the lower 60s.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -An upper-level ridge of high pressure will build across the great lakes, and New England states this week. This is a signature in the weather pattern for much warmer temperatures. If you consider that the typical high temperature for this time of the year in the upper 70s, the News10NBC First Alert meteorologists expect the mercury will be running some ten to fifteen degrees warmer making feel more like the middle of July.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Most of the strong thunderstorms did miss Western New York. As a result, the News10NBC yellow alert has come to an end. However, the winds were still rather gusty as we measured a top wind speed of 48 miles per hour at the Rochester Airport. Looking ahead, a cold front will be passing the area tonight, and this will serve to lower the temperature and humidity for the remainder of the weekend.
