ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Our warm spell continues today with plenty of bright, pleasant sunshine in the area and a slight south breeze helping the cause as we expect to reach the mid and upper 70s in the afternoon. This will be the fifth day in the last seven experiencing temperatures in the 70s. Today’s readings will be about ten degrees warmer than the seasonal average.

The warm air will continue to build northward into the area tomorrow, and even with the threat of isolated showers early in the day and during the late afternoon and evening, we’ll enjoy some even warmer temperatures. High temperatures will be in the upper 70s to low 80s on Thursday with a slight southeast breeze and a few breaks of sunshine.

Additional shower chances will develop on Friday as a storm system approaches from the southwest. Expect a few isolated showers in the morning with more scattered showed and thunderstorms late in the day and during the evening. A handful of those late-day storms may become strong to severe, especially in North Iowa. Large hail and strong wind gusts will be the primary threats locally. With breaks of sunshine between showers and a southeast breeze, high temperatures will be in the mid-70s.
