Rochester’s low at the airport was 34 degrees.  That’s only 2 degrees shy of the record for September 13th.

 A Rochester record was set yesterday when the thermometer at the city airport maxed out at just 51 degrees.  That’s the lowest high temperature for September 12th on record.  The previous record was 53 degrees, set in 1989.

Warmer weather is expected through the weekend and into next week but temps are expected to remain below normal through that period.
