UPDATE AS OF 7:22 p.m. Sunday: Most Flash Flood warnings canceled. A flood warning remains in effect for parts of Ontario County until 7:00 a.m. Monday.

The National Weather Service has issued a lakeshore flood warning for Monroe and Orleans Counties from 5pm Sunday to 8am Monday.

The weather service says that the combination of high lake levels and wave action may worsen flooding in low lying areas along the Lake Ontario Shoreline.

A ‘beach hazard’ statement has also been issued, meaning that there is a high swim risk due to ‘threatening waves and currents.’  That statement takes effect 2pm Sunday and runs through the evening.

Late Sunday afternoon, Monroe County Exec. Cheryl Dinolfo issued this statement:

The Erie Canal is getting quite a birthday party. It was 200 years ago this month when construction began on the Canal. When it was completed in 1825, the canal connected Lake Erie with the Hudson River - forever changing a young nation, socially and economically. It’s the latter that state and local leaders are working to emphasize. While the Erie Canal has been described as an “empire builder” by Professor of Religious Studies S. Brent Rodriguez Plate, does it still have relevance as an economic force today? 

A 69 year old Oswego man was burned when his race car caught fire Saturday evening near Geneva. Ontario County deputies say it happened at Paradise Speedway on Hayes Road.

They say that Michael Humphrey had just finished a practice session at the track with his Micro Sprint car. He drove off the track with no issues, but when he arrived back at his trailer, witnesses saw the car engulfed in flames.

Humphrey was trapped in the car and other racers and fans at the speedway rushed to his aid, extinguishing the fire and pulled Humphrey from the car.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A crew from New York state is heading west to help battle wildfires.

Twenty employees and volunteers from the state Department of Environmental Conservation are departing Saturday to help where needed. Crews are battling wildfires in California, Montana and British Columbia.

The New York team includes state forest rangers and is expected to be out west for two weeks. Costs will be handled by the U.S. Forest Service.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the state is proud to help its neighbors out west.

Women of all ages marched in downtown Rochester Saturday morning promoting the history of women suffrage and the centennial of a woman’s right to vote in New York State.

The theme was "Because of Women Like Her…" and encouraged participants to wear white, purple and gold, the uniform of early 1900s suffragists.

Alicia Compton and Brooke Ophardt brought their daughters to march; they were walking with Planned Parenthood. Compton says it’s important to being young girls to events like these to empower them.
