U.S. News and World Report recently ranked the best places to live in New York and the country. Heres how Rochester did.

Morning puddles give way to slow clearing this afternoon, with highs near 70F. And daytime highs hold in the 70s most of May. No more heat spikes or cold slaps brewing. In spite of a few windblown showers on Thursday, a mostly-dry weather pattern lingers the next 2 weeks. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Showers and T-storms will be most numerous south of I-94 today and tonight with little rain for the Brainerd Lakes. How much? Over 1" for the metro, and maybe 2-3" amounts for far southern and southwestern Minnesota, closer to a juicy warm frontal boundary. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Drier work week, weekend rain

Clouds increase today with a few showers, even a rumble of thunder Thursday, as temperatures rise into the 60s. A huge storm stalling over Michigan will keep windblown rain showers in the forecast this weekend, but dreary highs in the 40s give way to 50s and 60s next week.

More sunshine today and Wednesday helps us green up a little faster, with showers returning by Thursday. This weekend a massive, full-latitude storm will stall over the Great Lakes, pulling rain and wet snow out of Canada into Minnesota and Wisconsin. A few inches for the Arrowhead? Maybe a little MSP slush Monday morning. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

A cold storm sparks scrappy clouds today and sprinkles tomorrow, but it will start to feel like spring later this week, with highs poking into the 50s. A storm stalls over the Upper Midwest next weekend, keeping us cooler and wetter than normal. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Here's when and where to spot hummingbirds.

Expect rain today with a few T-storms and wet roads locally. Rain ends as a little slush in the metro late Thursday, but models print out plowable (5-8"+) amounts of snow for Mille Lacs, Brainerd, Walker and Bemidji by Friday. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson

Itll be milder today with less wind, but another storm system rolls into town tomorrow with a few rumbles of thunder possible in the morning. Rain and snow lingers through Friday. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson
