ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – The warm air we enjoyed on Thursday is lingering in the area today, but it’ll be here for a limited time only because a cold front is approaching from the wet. Expect occasional sunshine in the morning with increasing clouds and then some showers will spread across the local area in the afternoon. A few rumbles of thunder will also be possible in the mid-afternoon and evening. Temperatures will reach the mid and upper 60s early in the afternoon before those readings slide back to the 50s behind the cold front later in the day.

My one minute forecast for Friday, April 28, 2023. Sunshine will give way to clouds and showers as a cold front moves through the area. Temperatures will drop from the mid 60s to 50s late in the day. Expect a breezy and chilly weekend with scattered rain showers Saturday and then rain and sparse snow showers Sunday. Temperatures will warm nicely in the upcoming week with sunshine. #weather #weatherman #kttcwx #minnesota #tgif
