Rain chances?

Occasional scattered showers are possible Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening in north-central and northeastern Minnesota. A shower could drift over far northwestern Wisconsin later today. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s North American Mesoscale (NAM) forecast model shows the potential rain pattern Sunday and Sunday evening:

This model also shows a few scattered showers in south-central and southeastern Minnesota late Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening. Another model keeps that area dry.
