There is very little weather drama in our Minnesota weather forecast the remainder of Sunday.
Northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin could see some light snow showers or flurries at times Sunday afternoon. A stray flurry or sprinkle is also possible elsewhere in Minnesota, but it will be a dry afternoon in many areas. Patchy fog is also possible.
Accumulating snow will linger into Sunday afternoon in much of eastern Wisconsin, mixed with a few rain showers in spots. Wisconsin road conditions can be found here.
Monday snow chance
Computer models have shifted Monday’s clipper system to the south, so southern and central Minnesota and portions of Wisconsin could see patchy snow showers and patchy light rain showers Monday afternoon into Monday night.
