Brothers... Between Fire and Water, Lower Saranac Lake, NY. Archive Photo of the Day by S. Nicholas Jul 16, 2021 — Plan on encountering some showers or a thunderstorm this weekend. Watch the weather closely and be aware of the possibility for localized flooding. The recent rain has lowered the fire danger, and brought rivers and streams to well above normal levels for this time of year. Stream crossings may be difficult or impassible around the region this weekend. High waters with strong currents can be dangerous – use extra care if you are visiting one of the region’s swimming holes or going paddling. It’s a great time to check out some of the region’s many waterfalls – just use caution.
