Worth knowing today

Rochester drops to around 42 tonight under mostly clear skies, then climbs to 66 Saturday in the last fully dry day before the rain.
tonight · dry
The remnants of Hurricane Isaias bring a soaking rain to Rochester Sunday, with most of it falling between 1 PM and 11 PM; totals look like about half an inch, anywhere from 0.1 to 0.9 in. Bone-dry soils should soak it up, so flooding looks unlikely.
rain · isaias
Clouds and steady rain hold Sunday to 61, then Monday rebounds to 67 as the rain tapers west to east by morning, though showers could return Monday night.

Tuesday is a coin toss: the runs span anywhere from 49 to 80 in Rochester, with 66 the best middle guess, before Wednesday settles cooler near 56.
