There are multiple chances for showers and thunderstorms through mid week. Thunderstorms are most likely for north-central to NE MN today with isolated to scattered severe storms possible. Tuesday night through the day Wednesday, a heavy rainfall setup is looking increasingly likely. Scattered flash flooding and isolated severe storms are possible.


We are monitoring an increasing potential for flash flooding from late Tuesday through Wednesday. Multiple rounds of heavy rain showers and storms are expected along a stalled front, bringing 1-3"+ of rainfall with localized totals of 4-7"+ possible. The highest risk currently sits within the yellow-shaded "Slight Risk" areas on the maps. Because the exact positioning of the stalled front remains uncertain, the highest risk area may shift north or south. Keep an eye on the forecast over the next couple of days.
