The Duluth area saw a torrential downpour that dropped 3 to 6 inches of rain in just a 4-square-mile area causing flooding.

Summer temperatures return
Sunny skies are back for Wednesday and temperatures will be slightly warmer as a result, but still below normal.
Thursday will bring a return to summer warmth with above normal temperatures again. Many areas in southern Minnesota will be near 80 degrees.
The next upper level disturbance will increase cloud cover Friday and bring another chance of spotty showers. Unfortunately, once again, it will not be a widespread soaking but rather localized rainfall.
