Scattered showers and thunderstorms are developing in the forecast for Sunday as the next weather system moves into the Upper Midwest. Rainfall is expected to be light, with totals ranging from a few hundredths to a tenth of an inch—so no heavy downpours are expected. However, northern Minnesota may experience heavier rainfall amounts.
