ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) – Bright, pleasant sunshine has returned to our skies today on the heels of the weekend storm system that made for a cool and damp Mother’s Day in our area. Expect mostly sunny skies throughout the day with high temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s thanks to a large area of high pressure that is settling in from the north. Winds will remain light throughout the day.

Warm air will build northward on Tuesday ahead of a weak cold front that will be edging its way southward down the Mississippi Valley and from the Great Lakes. A stray shower or two and perhaps a rumble of thunder will be possible in the mid to late afternoon tomorrow along that front. Otherwise, it’s going to be a sunny and warm day with high temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s and a slight northwest breeze that will reach 15 miles per hour at times.

Friday will be breezy and much cooler behind that cold front. A few showers will be possible, especially in the morning. We’ll have occasional sunshine in the area with high temperatures in the low 60s and a gusty, cool northwest breeze.

For a change, the weekend is actually going to be amazingly pleasant! Expect mostly sunny skies on Saturday and Sunday with high temperatures in the low 70s. That’s much better than the past couple of weekends that have featured cool cloud cover with the threat of rain!

High temps will be in the 70s for most of this week and all of next week.

My one minute forecast for Monday, May 15, 2023. Expect mostly sunny skies today with light winds and high temperatures in the upper 60s. The bulk of the week will be bright and mild with temperatures in the 70s for the most part. There will be sparse rain chances late Tuesday with a few more showers possible Thursday into Friday. #kttcwx#weatherman#weather#minnesota
