ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – On and off light showers will be possible throughout the day on Wednesday. High temperatures will stay well below average with the light showers. Light showers are likely in the morning and early evening on Wednesday. Showers will stay spotty across SE MN and NE IA most of the day. I’m not expecting a washout, but have the umbrella ready for tomorrow. Rainfall amounts Tuesday night through Wednesday will range from 0.10-0.50″ for the region.

Warm temperatures this week; Pattern change by the weekend

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – High temperatures for the first half of the week will remain well above average in the mid-80s. A pattern flip is likely by the weekend. High temperatures on Tuesday will be back in the mid-80s with partly cloudy skies. Wind will be out of the southeast around 5-15 mph. A few stray showers could develop in the afternoon due to daytime heating. I do not think these will be very widespread during the afternoon. Most will miss out on the rain completely.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Chilly temperatures are possible late Friday night and early Saturday morning. Air temperatures could drop into the mid-30s across SE MN and NE IA. If the skies clear quickly enough Saturday morning, temperatures will fall to the mid-30s from 4 a.m. until 7 a.m. Saturday morning.
