Our record-setting June deluge may be on its last legs. 

Parts of Minnesota have recorded more than 10 inches of rainfall this month. You can see the incredible rainfall totals so far in June on the map at the top of this post.

A drier weather pattern is emerging for Minnesota starting Sunday and lasting through much of next week. We could string together more dry days next week with only isolated rain chances if current forecast models pan out. 

That would be a blessing for soggy fields and 

 around Minnesota. Climatologist Mark Seeley, my MPR News colleague, points out that Minnesota is already recording a top 20 wettest June with nine days left in the month! 

Friday brought yet another multi-inch rainfall event to southern Minnesota. 

We may still pick up a few scattered thunderstorms on Saturday, but Sunday looks sunny and dry with highs around 80 degrees in the south.

All forecast models show a trend toward drier weather with only isolated rain for much of next week. 

We may finally string together a few dry days. Right now, the period Sunday through Thursday looks mainly dry across most of Minnesota. A few isolated storms may rumble on Monday. 

Heat and some humidity return Monday and Tuesday with highs in the 80s to near 90 in southern Minnesota:
