 For NPR News in the Twin Cities, I'm Perry Finnelli. It could be a very rainy 4th of July across Minnesota, which has the potential to prolong river flooding in the region heading into the weekend. NPR meteorologist Sven Sundgaard says the rain today and tonight in parts of Minnesota will be followed by more on Thursday afternoon and evening. He says the rain on the holiday could be locally heavy in parts of the state that have seen flooding in recent weeks.
