Ken Barlow is forecasting more showers and possible thunderstorms

Good Friday morning!

The heaviest of the rain which prompted the Forecast First Alert is over, although there will still be a few showers and thunderstorms with downpours at times, the worst of the heaviest of the rain is over.

Most of the metro has picked up 1″ to 21/2″ of rain since yesterday, higher amounts can be found to the west of the Twin Cities metro area.

Near Lake Lillian, which is just southeast of Willmar, radar estimates that up to 6” of rain has fallen since yesterday.

Scattered showers today will keep temperatures in the lower 60s today. We may see another 1/4″ to 1/2″ of rain in the metro and up to 2″ to 3″+ across Central MN.

Warmer weather moves in for Father’s Day Weekend.

There is still the threat of a few showers or thunderstorms chance each day, but at this point most of the weekend will be mainly dry, but you may have to dodge those showers at times.

Have a great weekend!
