Areas of morning fog; afternoon shower chance far northern Minnesota
Temps rebound a bit
A high pressure system is moving into Minnesota, and our winds lightened up overnight. The light winds allowed areas of dense fog to develop.
A dense fog advisory continues until 10 a.m. this Sunday from central Minnesota into northeastern Minnesota:
Here are details of the dense fog advisory:

Any rain today?
Areas with dense fog could see patchy mist or drizzle at times this morning. Rain chances this afternoon and evening would be mainly in north-central and northeastern Minnesota, where an isolated thunderstorm is also possible.
Temperatures
Sunday highs will be in the 70s in many areas, with parts of northwestern Minnesota reaching the lower 80s:
Upper 70s are expected in much of the metro area, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see an 80 somewhere in the metro.
Sunday afternoon dew points will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s:

A new Updraft blog will be posted around 10:20 this morning and it’ll include a look at the week ahead.
