Second half of summer shines on tourist season
Economies of Saratoga and Warren counties buoyed by weather
Deluges washed away roads in Warren and Rensselaer counties early in July.
Some parts of the Adirondacks were hit particularly hard. In Indian Lake, the 8.21 inches of rain that fell during July were more than twice the average 3.86 inches it sees during the month.
North Creek also saw above average rainfall for the month.
But conditions improved in the second half of summer, in time for the annual thoroughbred season at Saratoga Race Course, a major draw for tourists.
Weatherwise, "August was a relatively quiet month compared to June and July," observed Christina Speciale, a meteorologist at the Albany office of the National Weather Service.
