 Good morning, I'm Kathy Werzer in the NPR Newsroom. It's a wet start to Friday. It's raining across a wide area of Minnesota from Hill City in the north to the Minnesota-Iowa border in the south. There's some heavy rain in some places, not needed as the ground is saturated, adding to high water woes. Xcel Energy crews are sandbagging around the Black Dog Power Station on the Minnesota River in Burnsville. Roads near the Mississippi River in downtown St. Paul remain closed as that river continues to rise.
