Rain chances are expected in Rochester this week, with a low-pressure system moving into the area. The rain is needed to alleviate drought conditions in the region, but may also cause disruptions to outdoor events and activities.
According to forecasters, Rochester can expect to see rain showers on Wednesday and Thursday, with a chance of thunderstorms on Friday.
"We're expecting a fairly active weather pattern over the next few days, with a low-pressure system moving into the area," said a forecaster.
