Our steamy tropical summer air mass continues to deliver torrential tropical downpours. Tuesday’s fare included another shot of flooding rain. Over 2 inches of rain fell in less than an hour Tuesday afternoon. Street flooding in Minneapolis lit up twitter.

Monday’s deluge makes this the 4th wettest year on record so far at MSP Airport. 

Wednesday brings another risk for severe storms across southern Minnesota. Once again torrential downpours are possible from an air mass with dew points near the 70-degree mark.

The highest risk for severe storms Wednesday favors late afternoon into Wednesday night. Some models develop a bow echo in central Minnesota Wednesday afternoon that could race toward the Twin Cities Wednesday night.

Stay aware for severe weather potential with damaging winds and hail Wednesday evening.
