The bubble of water that rushed into rivers with our recent snowmelt is flooding some roads southwest of the Twin Cities.

The latest roads to close are in Carver and Scott counties along the Minnesota River.

Flooding continues along Highway 93 near Henderson, Minn. Check out the sizable ice chunks in floodwaters on the roadway.

Here’s another view from MnDOT.

The Minnesota River at Jordan has reached minor flood stage at Henderson. It is forecast to crest Thursday, then begin slowly falling.
