A nearby high pressure system will deliver sunshine to much of Minnesota and western Wisconsin this Sunday.

There will be some clouds and rain off to the northwest. Showers and thunderstorms were over portions of the Red-River Valley at 8 a.m., and they will spread a bit eastward over the next couple of hours. The best chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms today will be over northwestern Minnesota and parts of west-central Minnesota.

A few showers and thunderstorms could move into north-central Minnesota by evening.

The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center shows a marginal risk of severe weather (shaded darker green) this Sunday and Sunday night in a portion of northwestern Minnesota:
