Mild temps with several chances of rain this week

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Warm air continues to build northward into our region this week while a storm system approaches from the west, bringing a slightly unsettled element to our weather picture. Expect bright sunshine across the area today in the wake of the fog that developed around sunrise. With the help of a light south breeze and that strong early May sunshine, temperatures will climb into the low and mid-70s in the afternoon which is several degrees above the seasonal average. A few isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible late from the evening commute until just after sunset, but severe weather isn’t expected.
