NBC's "Today" show weatherman Al Roker is scheduled to visit Moorhead, Minn., today as part of his goal to report the weather from all 50 states.

Roker plans to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for fastest time to report a weather forecast from all 50 states.

Roker started his quest for the record on Nov. 6 in Honolulu and ends his journey back at Rockefeller Plaza in New York on Nov. 13.

His effort is intended to raise awareness and donations for Feeding America, an organization aimed at fighting hunger in the United States. Non-perishable items are being accepted at Rockefeller Plaza.

In 2014, Roker set a Guinness World Record by delivering the weather live for 34 hours straight. The money raised was donated to United Service Organizations (USO) and earned Roker a congratulatory call from Vice President Joe Biden.

Roker was scheduled to make other Midwest stops on Monday, including Fargo, N.D., Sioux Falls, S.D., Dubuque, Iowa, Hazel Green, Wis., and Lebanon, Kan.
