Isolated Strong to Severe Storms through Thursday

Excessive Rainfall Possible Late Wed.-Fri. Morning

A few showers and thunderstorms will be possible this morning, but the better chances will be this afternoon through Thursday evening. A few of the storms during this time may produce 70 mph winds and ping pong hail, especially this afternoon and again Thursday aft/eve.

Thunderstorms from later Wednesday through early Friday will have the potential for high rates of rainfall as well as amounts capable of urban ponding, flash flooding and rises on creeks and rivers. At this time, the higher risk for excessive rainfall looks to be areas in and near southwest Minnesota, but keep aware of forecast changes as there remains a great deal of uncertainty on heavier rainfall locations.
