Scattered thunderstorms today; sunshine and isolated storms will impact the area for the holiday weekend

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Warm, humid air continues to build into the region today ahead of a cold front that is moving in from the northwest making for a breezy, warm, and unsettled day in the area. We’ll have scattered showers and a few thunderstorms in the area for the morning with a few isolated, sparse storms in the afternoon. A few of those late-day storms between 4:00 and 9:00 pm may become strong to severe with large hail and damaging wind gusts possible in the area. Right now, the Storm Prediction Center has our entire area in the level two of five in severe risk in its daily outlook. We’ll also have occasional sunshine in the afternoon between those storms with high temperatures in the mid-80s. A southwest breeze will reach 25 to 30 miles per hour in the morning and then slowly subside in the afternoon.
