The heavy rains were fueled by a very humid air mass that moved through ahead of a cold front. It left drivers waiting in a long line of traffic on the New York State Thruway.
"FLOODING - ROCHESTER: Due to heavy rain that rolled through the area, there is significant flooding at the I-90 exit 46 (Rochester - Corning - I-390) interchange. Please use caution if traveling through the area and seek alternate routes if possible".
Thankfully, the forecast is calling for a cooler couple of days. However, the hot weather is making a significant comeback as we start summer. Most of Western New York will see temperatures get in to the upper 80's for much of the first full week of summer.
