# Rochester Weather Summary **Sunday through Wednesday:** You'll start with some patchy fog Sunday morning, then partly sunny skies as temps reach 67°F. Monday brings a chance of rain showers and cooler weather (60°F), but things improve midweek with mostly sunny skies, lighter winds, and highs in the low-to-mid 60s. **Owatonna difference:** Owatonna (30 miles northwest) has slightly higher rain chances this weekend and early week, so if you're heading that direction, pack an umbrella just in case. **What you need to know:** - **Heavy rain concern is south of you** – Southwest Wisconsin and northeast Iowa are the focus for potential heavy rain and flooding this weekend. Rochester should stay mostly dry. - **Monday could be wet** – A 30-40% chance of rain showers Monday means don't leave your umbrella at home, but it won't be a washout. - **Nice stretch ahead** – After Monday, expect drier, pleasant weather with plenty of sunshine and comfortable 60s for highs. - **Confidence is moderate** – Forecasters aren't entirely certain about exact storm timing/impacts in the broader region, but Rochester's outlook is fairly straightforward. - **Stay alert to flooding updates** – If you're near the Wisconsin/Iowa border, monitor local flood alerts since some areas already received heavy rain.
