36 years is a long time to be at one place & doing just one thing. It has been great fun to forecast our challenging weather. But I'm very fortunate that our weather has been calm & quiet as it would be rather difficult to focus on a difficult forecast.

The Mt. Morris Dam has been, and continues to be, one of the greatest investments for our community... Why? Flood mitigation! After yesterday's heavy rain the water level behind the dam has risen 36 feet in about 24 hours. Rochester again is saved by the dam... #ROC

First Alert Weather Team tracking rain. Do not anticipate severe storms - so damaging wind or tornadoes are not a real risk- but heavier rainfall MAY produce localized flooding. Greatest potential will be late this afternoon into the overnight. Yellow Alert Day continues...
