ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Depends on your tolerance for this type of weather, but for some folks, today the was the first day of an oppressive amount of heat and humidity. Most communities measured a high temperature near 90 degrees with a heat index near 100 degrees. The heat index is the comfort level when combining the temperature and humidity. This will be a three-day event of mid-summer conditions with Monday likely being the peak of the steamy weather.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – We were very fortunate in the immediate Rochester area during Monday’s thunderstorms. While we did experience some flooding, any tree or powerline damage was isolated and minimal. That was not the case, however, in the small community of Ellicottville in Cattaraugus County—located about 80 miles southwest of Rochester. Social media video from the area show significant structural damage, including what appears to be the second-floor roof of a building completely torn off.
