Dry Today, Weekend Storm Chances

Rochester Weather Radio Outage

Seasonable temperatures and dry conditions expected today before storm chances frequent the forecast through the weekend. Initial line of storms progresses northwest to southeast Friday afternoon-evening with subsequent daily storm chances becoming widespread Sunday night through Monday morning.

The NOAA Weather Radio at Rochester, MN is currently off the air due to a hardware failure. A new part is on order and will arrive by Friday. If possible, try tuning into a neighboring weather radio transmitter. Thank you for your patience.
