Heavy rain, scattered storms, flooding and severe storm threat at times Friday into Saturday

Good evening,

The potential for flash flooding returns tonight across southwestern Minnesota. Twin Cities has the likely chance for rainfall overnight, which will be light at first becoming steadier overnight into Friday morning. Scattered showers and storms are likely tomorrow across central and southern Minnesota. Rain will be heavy at times, and Friday afternoon and evening storms could bring the risk of severe weather to especially the south metro and southern Minnesota.

A Flood Watch is in place Friday through Saturday early afternoon, with a widespread 2″ to 4″ + inches across central and southern Minnesota.

The arrowhead of Minnesota could see scattered rain and storms that are locally heavy overnight Friday into Saturday morning. The chance for this is about a 30-40% chance, so at this point I wouldn’t get overly worried since that chance could change by Saturday morning (given that Up North is on the very northern edge of that rain potential).

Saturday afternoon we look mainly dry with a partly to mostly sunny Sunday.

Have a wonderful night!

Wren
