Heavy rain likely Friday and Friday night

Our big story today is a system that has the potential to bring some heavy rain Friday and Friday night.

STORM ALERT WEATHER 3 FORECAST: Flash flood potential Friday into Saturday

Rain is becoming more scattered for most as the first of two rounds of precipitation moves eastward. Off and on showers could linger into Friday afternoon as southerly winds increase. Gusts up to 30-35 MPH are possible at times as the center of low pressure inches closer. These strong south winds will drastically increase atmospheric moisture Friday evening into Friday night, allowing for the second round of heavy rains to feature efficient rainfall rates. Due to this, a Flood Watch will go into effect at 7 PM Friday for Dodge, Olmsted, Winona, Freeborn, Mower, Fillmore, Houston, Mitchell, Howard, and Winneshiek counties to account for potential flash flooding in low-lying locations and urban settings. Rivers may rise out of their banks and cause flooding near waterways.
