Severe weather likely to start the week around Rochester

Today we are tracking severe weather becoming likely for most of southeast Minnesota. It is a day where you will need to be attentive to the conditions for much of the afternoon, as while the first round of storms will be your morning wake-up call with a rumble of thunder to start the day, the chance for severe weather becomes likely this afternoon. By around 1-4 pm, storms will be forming around western and central Minnesota, as a cold front will push them into the region for the later part of the afternoon.

Make sure that you heed all warnings that will be issued today, as the environment is conducive to destructive severe weather for much of the afternoon, and continuing until sunset tonight. ADVERTISEMENT Once we get past today though, we are heading to a cooler stretch for the rest of the week. The system that brings the storms today will be bringing winds back to out of the north tomorrow, and that will look to keep temperatures in the 60s for much of the rest of the week.
