ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – The storm system that brought rain and snow showers to the region over the weekend has moved away to the east, but we’re still dealing with some windy and cool conditions in the area today. Expect sunshine with occasional cloud cover throughout the day and high temperatures in the mid-50s. A northwest breeze will reach 40 miles per hour at times adding a little extra chill to the air so wind chill indices will actually hover in the 40s for the most part.

My one minute forecast for Monday, May 1, 2023. Expect occasional sunshine and clouds throughout the day with gusty northwest winds and high temperatures in the low 50s. The next few days will feature a slow warm-up with increasing rain chances by the weekend. #weather #weatherman #kttcwx #minnesota
