First Alert Weather: Yellow Alert ends as storms move away

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – A Yellow Alert is in effect for areas south of Rochester, including parts of Livingston, Ontario and Yates Counties into the evening as strong to severe storms pass through. Hail and torrential rain are the main weather impacts, but some gusty winds may also accompany the strongest storms. The severe threat diminishes by 6 or 7, with much quieter weather returning. Meanwhile, much of the immediate Rochester region is remaining storm-free.

The same boundary that was the focus for storms on Thursday will once again meander over us on Friday. This means we’ll see a few more scattered showers or isolated storms, but again, the main impacts will tend to focus south of Rochester. There doesn’t appear to be as much fuel for storms, so strong storms aren’t expected on Friday.
