Warmer this Sunday, chance of a showers/t-storms

Dew points in the 60s

Radar early Sunday morning shows clusters of showers and thunderstorms in mainly western Minnesota, tracking to the east-northeast.

Additional clusters of showers and thunderstorms will develop at times today and tonight, so rain chances will include all of Minnesota and western Wisconsin at some point today but no all-day rains are expected at any location.

The NWS Storm Prediction Center shows a slight risk of severe weather in west-central Minnesota Sunday and Sunday night, with the slight risk area shifted to southern Minnesota Monday and Monday night:
