It's going to be a hot one in the Twin Cities on Sunday, but the heavy rain that continues to move through the area will push the oppression out by the end of the day.
Heat indices will climb to 95 to 100 degrees this afternoon across the Twin Cities metro. Drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks inside of an air-conditioned building. Those engaging in strenuous outdoor activities will be at greater risk for heat illness. #mnwx pic.twitter.com/z9JjAGsuLy

July 26, 2020 A flash flood watch that lasted until mid-day Sunday in the south metro came after heavy rains swept through the area, dumping up to ten inches of rain in some areas.
Early Sunday, parts of highway 169 were closed because of high water on the pavement near Henderson and north of Mankato.
There was also flooding on highway 19 west of Gaylord.
The Saturday night storms also produced a funnel cloud that was videotaped above the Sibley County town of Gaylord.
The National Weather Service says the storm formed over wide-open farm fields, away from populated areas.
