Excessive heat could return to Minnesota next week; historic flooding in Kentucky
By: Joe Nelson, Sven Sundgaard – July 28, 2022
Meteorologist Sven Sundgaard has plenty to talk about in today's video, including the horrific flash flooding from torrential rain in eastern Kentucky. Remember, just a few days ago the St. Louis area was hit by what's been called a 1 in 500 year flood, and now the same – perhaps worse – is happening in Kentucky.
Closer to home, drought conditions continue in Minnesota and another stretch of hot and dry weather is approaching. In fact, Sven says the models are hinting the potential for 100 degrees in the middle of next week.
