Dodging scattered T-Showers; cool Father’s Day

Finding the dry hours

There will be many dry hours this weekend. But we'll also be dodging scattered showers across Minnesota. Rainfall looks spotty and intermittent. The most likely timing favors this evening and late Saturday through Saturday evening. NOAA's NAM model paints the picture this weekend.
