THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 745 PM CDT FOR
SOUTHERN MOWER AND WESTERN FILLMORE COUNTIES...

Rochester and other areas of southeastern Minnesota are included in a major disaster declaration issued today by President Donald Trump.

Last night a phenomenon that only usually happens in the Arctic Circle was visible across much of the state of Minnesota.

Tuesday’s confirmed tornado in Rochester was the first in the city in several years.

Here are all the details.

A storm packing winds topping 60 miles per hour and baseball size hail roared through the Rochester area in the early evening.

The month of May in the Rochester area can be summarized using just four words: cool and very wet.

Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and more of the Midwest are expected to have colder temperatures than normal this summer, according to the National Weather Service.

As advertised, the storm system that moved through the region this weekend produced some impressive rainfall totals.

Southeastern Minnesota is enjoying a lull in the stormy weather that produced heavy rains overnight, but another round of storms is forecast to develop later in the day Saturday and continue into Sunday.
