We’re starting our Sunday with areas of fog in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. That fog will dissipate later this morning.

Most of us will have many rain-free hours today. There may be a few scattered showers and possibly an isolated thunderstorm in far southern Minnesota this afternoon and evening. A few stray showers and an isolated thunderstorm are also possible near the Canadian border. The metro area could see an isolated shower late this afternoon or this evening.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s High resolution Rapid-Refresh (HRRR)  forecast model shows the potential rain pattern for Sunday afternoon and evening:
