MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — As showers and thunderstorms continue to drench areas south of the Twin Cities with up to four inches of rain, flash flood concerns carry on overnight.
According to Meteorologist Lisa Meadows, flash flood warnings keep popping up along slow moving storms south of the metro because of the high dew points. With so much moisture in the air it’s allowing an excessive amount of rain to come down with these storms.
There is also a heat advisory in place until 6 p.m. Sunday, as the heat index values will climb into the mid-90s.
