Rain chances today and Sunday; First Alert Day Monday
High temperatures will be in the 60s this weekend with 70s likely on Monday
ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Clouds and light rain will slowly clear off today as a large storm system pushes through the Upper Mississippi Valley. Expect light rain this morning with sprinkles tapering off in the early afternoon. High temperatures will be in the mid-50s, with a brisk northwest breeze this afternoon. A few glimpses of sunshine will be possible just before sunset as our cloud cover gradually moves out.



Under a clear sky tonight, temperatures will fall to the mid-30s, with light north winds.
After a sunny and tranquil Saturday, a few showers will develop on Sunday with limited sunshine between those rain chances. High temperatures this weekend will be in the low 60s.


Monday will be a First Alert Day as strong south winds will work to pull in warm air, creating enough instability to prime the atmosphere for severe weather in the afternoon. High temperatures will be in the mid and upper 70s, with south winds reaching 40 miles per hour. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined the entire Upper Mississippi Valley for the threat of tornadoes, damaging winds, gusts, and large hail, and it’s a situation that bears watching closely over the next few days.


Behind Monday night’s cold front, temperatures will cool to the 50s on Tuesday with a few stray showers possible. High temperatures for the remainder of next week will be in the seasonably mild 60s heading toward the start of May later in the week.
