Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - It’s a good thing temperatures stayed above freezing in southeast Minnesota Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

Steady rain started Wednesday afternoon and temperatures remained in the 40s through Thursday morning.

The rainfall total at the Rochester airport as of midnight was nearly 1.5 inches and nearly half an inch fell between midnight and 7:00 am. The 24 hour total is more than the monthly totals from September and October. Had it been colder, residents may have been dealing with a few inches of snow - or more.

NWS

It will be cold the next few days with highs in the 30s tomorrow through Monday but upper 40s are expected Tuesday.
