A lakeshore flood warning for Monroe County is under effect until 2 a.m. Saturday. Lake water levels continue to rise threatening homes and business along the lake in places like Greece, Parma, Webster and Sodus. Forecasters predict up three-quarters to one inches of rain in the area today, soaking the already hard-hit area.
