Minnesota rain totals: Rain soaked Twin Cities, more wet weather possible
A soggy Thursday morning for some
Some Minnesotans are waking up to a wet Thursday after big rain totals soaked some isolated places throughout the state. Dry conditions return today with a little sun in the Twin Cities, but several clusters of storms are lurking off to the west and are slowly heading our direction. We'll see if they can hold together, but some rain in at least part of the metro is looking more likely before the morning is over.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - After a deluge in some areas of the Twin Cities Wednesday night, more rain is possible on Thursday.
Today will be warm and humid again, with highs around 80 degrees, as things stay unsettled with pockets of heavy downpours possible at times.
The chance for rumbles of thunder will linger all day. However, there will be large lulls in the rain for individual areas - some may not see any rain for much of the day but when it rains, it'll pour.
Storms will linger into Friday, when the high will be cooler in the low- to mid-70s.
