Comfortable temps and humidity Sunday; shower chance in parts of Minnesota

Good air quality

Most of us will have a dry Sunday, but an upper level disturbance will bring a chance of scattered showers and an isolated thundrstorm to parts of Minnesota.

The best chance of scattered showers and an isolated thunderstorm Sunday morning will be from west-central through central Minnesota and into parts of northeastern Minnesota.

By Sunday afternoon, the shower/isolated thunderstorm chance shifts mainly to southwestern Minnesota and parts of south-central Minnesota. Far northeastern Minnesota could also see a passing shower Sunday afternoon.

Rain isn’t expected to last very long in the areas that do see a shower or isolated thunderstorm.
