Over the weekend the local forecast for the work week looked like it would bring significant rainfall on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Aside from some showers in the southern half of the Finger Lakes ear;y Monday evening the Finger Lakes has remained dry throughout the first half of the week as we close out the month of July.
We've stayed dry so far today, and a few isolated showers are still possible this afternoon/evening, but the bulk of the rain will stay away. This slug of rain will tend to fall apart as is moves north & east. Better rain chance tomorrow. @News_8 pic.twitter.com/HTHRJqgI3R

It's been a HOT July in #ROC! We'll close out the month 5th or 6th hottest on record, and with 11 days 90° or hotter. There were only 3 others years with more 90 °+ days in Rochester's recorded history. @news_8 pic.twitter.com/3M4jQmbwof
