Flash Flood Warnings In Twin Cities After Heavy Rains
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Flash flood warnings were issued and at least one major thoroughfare was underwater Thursday morning after a number of rounds of heavy rain moved through the Twin Cities metro area.
The National Weather Service said that Dakota, Ramsey and Washington counties would be under a flash flood warning until 9 a.m.
Minnesota Department of Transportation cameras showed a portion of Interstate 35E under water at Maryland Avenue in St. Paul.
WCCO meteorologist Matt Brickman said that storms brought heavy rain and a large amount of lightning.
Brickman said the rain should continue off and on again Thursday morning and then the Twin Cities should get a break before they start up again later on into the afternoon and evening as a cold front moves its way into the area.
