Dangerous Heat Sunday and Monday

Slightly Warmer Today, Turning Hot For Sunday

NWR Rochester Off The Air

Heat ramps back up to hazardous levels by Sunday, when heat index values in the triple digits appear possible. Even hotter for Monday, when dangerous heat index values of 105 or greater appear possible.

Slightly warmer temperatures a few degrees above yesterday provides heat indices near 90° for much of the local forecast area. Further warming for Sunday and Monday brings heat indices above and below 100°. Hottest temperatures expected south of Interstate 94 locally. Other than limited storm chances (20-40%) in far southwest Wisconsin today, more widespread storm chances (40%) expected Sunday night.

The NOAA Weather Radio in Rochester is currently "off the air". Technicians are troubleshooting the issue(s) and we hope to have it back in service soon. We apologize for any inconvenience.
