There is potential for localized flash flooding this evening into
early Tuesday within eastern North Dakota into northwest and
west-central Minnesota. Most areas will see 1 to 3 inches of
rainfall, with localized areas of 4 to 5 inches of rainfall.
Confidence remains low at this point where flash flooding will
occur, but will be most likely for areas that see highest amounts
over 4 inches. Additionally, urban areas will also be relatively
more susceptible to flooding impacts compared to rural areas. While
not everyone will see flash flooding, everyone should prepare for
flash flooding by having multiple ways to receive warnings, and have
a plan if one should be issued for your area. Lastly, remember to
never drive through flooded waters, especially at night.
