We need the rain, but not a pounding rain. How about a soft gentle rain over like 5 days?

Sounds like you might get a pounding rain over the next 5 days.

Just a typical week for Coach Hines' mom.

That’s not happening. Only gully washers this weekend.

Tonight’s enhanced risk is wind driven is what I have heard.

Can you be in charge of getting that for us?

Emmet and northern Kossuth County are getting rain. Or worse.

Getting pounded by a fast moving dude up here. Looks like a quick quarter incher.

Not to diminish what is happening now and the next couple of days, but I’ve been seeing Monday is the day to circle on the calendar. Could get crazy.

Been raining off and on in the last 2 hours. Did get to see 10 pieces of hail, the big one was golf ball size. My son drove through the stuff up in Emmet County, they stopped on the road because they couldn’t see. When they took off, there was 2 guys standing beside their motorcycles on the edge of the road.

Worst of this going to slide south of the metro?
