Southwestern Minnesota will reach the lower 60s on Sunday, with 40s in much of northern Minnesota. Parts of far northeastern Minnesota could see Sunday highs in the upper 30s.

Rain, snow chances stay mainly north

Saturday looks mainly dry, but some forecast models show a sprinkle or flurry chance in northern Minnesota.

The northern third of Minnesota could see some rain showers at times on Sunday, with a rain- snow mix possible in parts of far northern Minnesota.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Finite Volume Cubed Sphere (FV3) forecast model shows the potential precipitation pattern from 6 a.m. Sunday to 6 p.m. Sunday:

Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, so any clocks or time displays (on stoves etc.) that don’t automatically adjust to standard time should be set back one hour Saturday night.

Sunset in the Twin Cities will be at 4:56 p.m. Central Standard Time this Sunday. Those earlier sunset times always take awhile to get used to!
