Cold front that brought strong storms and heavy rain to parts of central and western New York on Thursday will keep that threat around for this morning and parts of the afternoon for Watkins Glen International. Most of the rain should be done by midday with just a small chance of a lingering shower or storm for the afternoon. It will remain muggy and warm with highs in the afternoon in the upper 70s.
