A look at Saturday rain totals; cool Sunday temps

Mainly dry today

The official Saturday rainfall total at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was just five-hundredths (.05) of an inch.

Many metro area rain totals were less than one-tenth of an inch. Here are 24-hour rainfall measurements taken by the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS):

A few spots to the northeast of Duluth had between one-third of an inch and one-half of an inch of rain Saturday into Saturday night:

There are some patchy areas of morning fog in parts of Minnesota, but that fog is expected to burn off.

Most of Minnesota will have a dry Sunday, but an isolated shower is possible in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin Sunday afternoon.
