We will continue to watch waves of showers and storms the next several days across a good portion of the state, with some additional 2"+ rain tallies expected in southern Minnesota.

Discarded or drifting in the ocean, plastic debris can accumulate on the water's surface, forming floating islands of garbage. Although it's harder to spot, researchers suspect a significant amount also sinks. In a new study in ACS' Environmental Science & Technology, one team used computer modeling to study how far bits of lightweight plastic travel when falling into the Mediterranean Sea.

Their results suggest these particles can drift farther underwater than previously thought.
