MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Soggy conditions are expected to continue into Friday afternoon, and there are concerns about severe storms possibly causing flooding in the Twin Cities area on Saturday. Read the latest updates below.
UPDATE (12:30 p.m.) — Saturday’s severe weather risk has been upgraded to “enhanced” for a large part of the state, including the Twin Cities. Flooding is also possible in the evening.
According to WCCO Director of Meteorology Mike Augustyniak, the severe threat is from mid-afternoon Saturday into the evening. Enhanced areas of severe weather could include 80+ mph straight-line winds, large hail and tornadoes.
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — According to WCCO meteorologist Riley O’Connor, the wettest part of Friday will be in the morning. Flash flood warnings for parts of the southeastern region of the state expired at 7 a.m.
Showers will become more scattered in the late morning and early afternoon. Temperatures will reach the mid-70s.
“We may even get a little sunshine,” O’Connor said.
Things change into Saturday, with temperatures jumping up into the upper-80s and thunderstorms possible in the evening.
WCCO Director of Meteorology Mike Augustyniak says he’s a bit concerned about urban and basement flooding in Hennepin and Ramsey counties, especially in the evening hours of Saturday.
Here are 2 possible outcomes for Saturday rainfall, from 2 different computer models. Because all models are wrong to some degree, neither of these are likely to be 100% right on the SPECIFICS of where the heaviest rain falls; but both point to the same GENERAL idea #mnwx #wiwx pic.twitter.com/llMYzJ9rdj

Sunday is expected to be sunny with less humidity.
Rainfall Is ‘Great News’ For Drought
Parts of the state had 2-4 inches of rainfall, and that’s great news considering the drought conditions in the state.
The latest figures show that 88% of the state is still listed under severe drought conditions, and all but 3% of the state is under at least a moderate drought. Those figures haven’t taken into account rain from this week, however.
Rain totals from the @WCCO Weather Watcher Network are GREAT news for the drought. Off/on rain continues for the next 36 hrs, ending with a dousing Saturday evening that could cause basement flooding. Details from @RileyOConnorWX thru 10a #MNwx #WIwx pic.twitter.com/4sKUE0f2ja
