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. A risk for storms moves in from west to east during the afternoon Friday with periodic rounds of storms into early next week.

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 Monday. If possible, try tuning into a neighboring weather radio transmitter. Thank you for your patience.
