MINNEAPOLIS — A cloudburst over the Twin Cities reminded drivers to slow down on Sunday morning.
Flooding was reported on several roads in St. Paul and West St. Paul. MnDOT traffic cameras showed water over the road on I-35E near the 7th Street Exit.
In West St. Paul, KARE 11's cameras caught water flowing over Oakdale Avenue between Wentworth Avenue and Mendota Road. Public Works officials said construction in the area led to storm drain blockages.
Two vehicles were towed.
Other posters on social media shared videos of flooded roads around West St. Paul.
Just before 11 a.m., the National Weather Service issued a Flash Flood Warning for parts of Dakota and Ramsey Counties, including St. Paul, Maplewood, Eagan and other neighboring communities until 12:45 p.m.
The storms dumping rain on the metro are forecasted to clear out by Sunday afternoon. Wet weather will stay in the forecast through Tuesday.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation warns drivers to "Turn Around, Don't Drown" on flooded roads. Six inches of water will reach the undercarriage of most vehicles and can cause stalling. As little as a foot of water will float many cars and trucks.
Driving on a closed road can cost you up to $1,000 in fines or 90 days in jail in Minnesota.
