Flooding risk as storms set to bring over 5 inches of rain to Minnesota
Flooding risk as storms set to bring over 5 inches of rain to Minnesota originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Heavy showers and thunderstorms could bring flooding to parts of Minnesota starting Friday. The National Weather Service says consistent rain will move slowly east Friday morning, continuing on and off through the weekend and into early next week, with central Minnesota and the Twin Cities potentially seeing the largest amounts. In its forecast discussion, the rain system will be interspersed with thunderstorms, some of which could turn strong to severe in the late afternoon and evening over the coming days, similar to what happened on Thursday. The rain will bring a flash flooding risk on Friday morning, with the NWS saying: "A very moist environment combined with warm rain processes will lead to efficient rainfall rates. If any training convection can occur we [expect] rainfall totals of 3-4" [and] possibly even localized areas up to 5" may occur." Sign up for our BREAKING WEATHER newsletters A flash flooding alert has been issued for south-central Minnesota by the NWS Weather Prediction Center, which states: ".Bands of slow moving heavy rainfall with localized hourly totals of 1-2" may result in 5"+ totals through 7am CDT. "Isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding are likely (and may be locally significant)." There is further flooding risk in the longer term as well, with weather officials noting that accumulation of rain over the coming days could cause areal (occurring over a prolonged period of rain) or flash flooding in an area that includes the Twin Cities. The American model is currently showing totals in excess of five inches over the next five days, with parts of the metro seeing 3-4 inches. "Areas that see rounds of rain 2-3 days in a row could see amounts of 3" to possibly even 5"," the NWS says. "The Grand Ensemble mean currently favors highest precipitation amounts across central MN (including the Twin Cities metro) into west-central WI through next Wednesday. "Areal and flash flooding is definitely a possibility through mid-next week, especially for low-lying and urban areas." Parts of Minnesota already received a decent soaking of rain during Thursday's storms, with more than 2 inches reported in Ortonville, and over 1.2 inches recorded in Brooklyn Park in the Twin Cities.

Insider suggests Wild will make Kirill Kaprizov the NHL's highest-paid player
Insider suggests Wild will make Kirill Kaprizov the NHL's highest-paid player originally appeared on Bring Me The News. There is no offseason storyling bigger for the Wild this year than star forward Kirill Kaprizov's looming contract extension. The Athletic's Michael Russo joined Paul Allen on his nine-to-noon radio show on Tuesday, and he suggested Kaprizov could become the highest-paid player in the league. "It would make me a little nervous, but I also understand that is the price of doing business right now for him," Russo said. "They are going to make him the highest-paid player in the league." Kaprizov just turned 28, and 2025-26 is the last season of his current five-year, $45 million deal. Russo suggested a potential eight-year, $120 million contract extension. Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews was the highest-paid player in the NHL in 2024-25, making $13.25 million annually. Russo's suggested deal for Kaprizov would pay him $15 million annually. "This organization has never had a superstar, and you've got to pay him to keep him," Russo continued. "Because there are a lot of teams out there, with the cap going up, that have a lot of cap space, that can sign him in a year." Kaprizov was banged up last season, playing in only 41 games, but he still finished with 56 points. His best career season came in 2021-22, when he scored 108 points with 47 goals and 61 assists. He has proven himself as one of the best players in the league, and it's a no-brainer for Minnesota to lock him down long-term.

SA's first full EV courier service launches in Gauteng
The decision to use EVs aligns with Staniland's background in tech and smart systems. 'I wanted to portray the right brand image and an EV conveys that perfectly. We did research as to possible options and settled on BYD. The company is a rival for Tesla and is available in SA. The Dolphin has a unique appearance, a hi-tech interior and a very good range, more than 400km, on a full charge. Using EVs has made us more efficient all around.' The BYD Dolphin units used by XPress have been modified for courier use. 'There is plenty of space in the Dolphins as we had them customised. We removed the passenger and rear seats, essentially turning them into little panel vans. Our drivers seem to really enjoy driving the cars. They have a sense of pride that shows in their appearance and the level of courtesy shown to clients.' XPress also incorporates a proprietary feature called Bring It, enabling customers to send parcels by scanning a QR code on the spot. 'All our drivers are also trained on our proprietary software to accept parcels on the spot via our Bring It service. This allows clients to simply scan a QR code to send a parcel there and then, and to remove unnecessary paperwork and admin, which is pretty unique in SA.' Staniland said the initial rollout has shown strong potential and the company is planning to expand. 'The rollout has proven this is a viable concept, even if SA is slow to widespread EV adoption. We are in talks to offer the XPress service in Durban, Cape Town and Nelspruit. We are also considering adding BYD Seagulls for intra-city deliveries. But it's still early days for this exciting new business,' he said.

Thompson had claimed he wasn't behind the wheel at the time of the crash, with his defense team arguing investigators had failed to determine it was his brother, Damarco, who was at fault. Thompson, the son of former Minnesota Representative John Thompson, was allegedly was weaving in and out of traffic on I-35W shortly before exiting and running the red light at the end of the ramp. According to the Sahan Journal, the women, some of whom were related, had been together to get henna tattoos applied at Karmel Mall ahead of a friend's wedding. Their families are expected to speak following the conclusion of Friday's hearing. This story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
