MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Rainfall from Sunday into early Monday brought some welcome moisture to Minnesota, with parts of the Twin Cities picking up more than an inch of rain.

Rain across Minnesota

Big picture view:

The heaviest rainfall was reported in west-central Minnesota, where Morris picked up 2.18 inches of rain. Across the Twin Cities metro, several cities received between three-quarters of an inch and more than an inch of rainfall.

While the recent rain was beneficial, it isn't necessarily indicative of how dry conditions remain across much of the state, explained FOX 9 meteorologist Cody Matz. Through the first five months of 2026, the Twin Cities have officially recorded 8.93 inches of precipitation at MSP Airport. Despite the recent rain, that's still 1.33 inches below average for the year to date. MSP Airport has also received quite a bit more rainfall than many locations elsewhere in Minnesota in recent weeks.
