More storms possible in Minnesota Monday as cleanup from Sunday's severe weather continues
After storms on Sunday left thousands of Minnesotans without power and flooded roads, more severe weather is possible on Monday. Before the storms arrive, it will be a hot, humid day, with heat indices in the triple digits across southern Minnesota. A heat advisory will be in effect there from noon to 8 p.m. While the Twin Cities aren't included in the advisory, temperatures will approach 90 degrees. Strong to severe storms arrive out west in the afternoon, with damaging winds, hail and tornadoes all possible. Localized flooding is also a threat. The Twin Cities will see those storms later in the evening, likely after 9 p.m. A cold front will bring cooler, less humid air Tuesday, with highs in the 70s and 80s and a quieter pattern through the rest of the week. As of Monday morning, nearly 35,000 people in the Twin Cities were still without power, according to Xcel Energy. On social media, Xcel said crews were "navigating challenging conditions to safely restore power as quickly as possible." The storms also downed trees and flooded roads. In Roseville, three cars were stranded due to flooding, according to police. A tornado touched down near Appleton in west-central Minnesota early Sunday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. No injuries were reported, and the extent of the damage is not yet known.

Heavy rains in northern China kill 4 as flood warnings are issued in Beijing and neighboring areas
BEIJING (AP) — Heavy rains and flooding in northern China killed four people while others remain missing, officials said Monday, amid flood warnings and evacuations. The victims were caught in a landslide in a rural part of Luanping county in the province of Hebei, which borders the capital, Beijing, according to state broadcaster CCTV. Eight remain missing. A local resident told the state-backed Beijing News that communications were down and he couldn't reach his relatives. Hebei officials had issued flood warnings on July 25 due to heavy rains. Beijing and the neighboring city of Tianjin followed with their own warnings on Monday. In the district of Miyun, a suburban part of Beijing, floodwaters swept away parked cars in an apartment complex, according to CCTV footage. Officials told the Beijing Daily they had evacuated 4,015 people to avoid the floods and that there were no casualties as a water reservoir in the district recorded its highest water level since record-keeping began in 1951. In Tianjin, some 5,600 people were also moved elsewhere for fear of floods, reported CCTV. The meteorological bureau issued a warning Monday, saying that some places on the outskirts of Beijing could be hit with up to 25 cm (9.84 inches) of rain in one day. The central government said in a statement it had sent 50 million yuan (about $7 million) to Hebei and dispatched a high-level team of emergency responders to aid the affected cities, which include Chengde, Baoding, and Zhangjiakou. Beijing and Hebei suffered severe flooding in 2023.
