Fog Thursday Morning

Showers for Some Today, Warmer This Weekend

Rochester Weather Radio Outage

Fog will likely (70%) develop across much of northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin Thursday morning. Be prepared for rapid changes in visibility if you're out driving tonight into early Thursday.

Showers and scattered storms linger south of Interstate 90 from northeast Iowa into southwest Wisconsin through the morning hours. Clear skies Thursday kick off a slightly warmer temperature trend that lasts through the weekend with periodic storm chances.

The NOAA Weather Radio at Rochester, MN is currently off the air due to a communication or hardware failure. Technicians have been notified, but there is no estimated restoration time. If possible, try tuning into a neighboring weather radio transmitter. Thank you for your patience.
