Severe weather to target Minneapolis to Detroit before the holiday weekend
Powerful thunderstorms will ramp up this week across the Central states, AccuWeather meteorologists warn, as a potent storm advancing across southern Canada sparks rounds of severe weather from the Dakotas to the Ohio Valley.
The pattern will usher somewhat cooler and less humid conditions into the Plains and Great Lakes, where highs have been soaring into the upper 90s recently.

Through Wednesday night, the area at risk for severe thunderstorms will span from far southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan into the Dakotas. The strongest thunderstorms are expected to develop later in the afternoon and will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts, large hail, flooding downpours and even a few tornadoes.
Storms Wednesday night can wane into the early morning hours on Thursday across South Dakota and portions of southern Minnesota. The threat of thunderstorms will be renewed by the afternoon from northeastern Minnesota and southward through central Kansas.
“An active stretch of weather is set to continue across the Midwest in the days leading up to the extended Labor Day weekend, with the risk for damaging thunderstorms still in the offing,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Brandon Buckingham said.

Forecasters are highlighting a “moderate risk” of storms within this region, particularly between the population centers of Minneapolis and Des Moines, Iowa.
Similar severe weather hazards will be possible again from Thursday to Thursday night, ranging from flooding downpours and hail to damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes. The AccuWeather Local StormMax™ for damaging wind gusts on Thursday is 85 mph.
As the week continues, yet another day with a risk of severe weather will develop farther east into the Great Lakes.

From Friday afternoon to Friday night, residents from the Chicago suburbs to Indianapolis on eastward to Detroit will be face the threat of disruptive storms. Those traveling along interstates 57, 69, 70 and 75 may experience travel slowdowns or delays during the evening commute as the holiday weekend officially begins.
While the area likely to be impacted by storms on Friday is smaller than on Thursday, it includes a handful of higher population centers and metro areas. This region has already faced disruptions from storms earlier in the week, and additional impacts on Friday could double down on those still recovering.

“Many residents are still without power across Michigan in the wake of the thunderstorm activity on Tuesday, which can pose a heightened risk as additional strong storms are expected again on Friday,” pointed out Buckingham.
Into the weekend, pockets of showers and thunderstorms may continue to impact portions of far northern Minnesota into northern Michigan. However, a zone of high pressure migrating into the northern Plains will promote mainly dry weather from the Dakotas to Illinois.

Victim in downtown Minneapolis hit-and-run says police haven’t contacted him about crash
![Victim in downtown Minneapolis hit-and-run says police haven’t contacted him about crash Victim in downtown Minneapolis hit-and-run says police haven’t contacted him about crash](https://assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2024/08/28/a6316fd1-e83b-4c10-a8a1-f7db15906491/thumbnail/1200x630/7392ef9163a20a973614c9131c89e743/raw-tue-0827-mpls-motorcyclist-folo-hit-run-carl-vargas-blake-schuman.jpg?v=29ebd300d9a3cd24077d945a46991f72)
MINNEAPOLIS — The victim of a violent hit-and-run crash last month is out of the hospital and says he hasn’t watched the security footage of what happened.
“It was just green light, and yeah, that’s literally all I remember,” said Carl Vargas.
Vargas was tossed through the air like a rag doll in downtown Minneapolis when another vehicle blew through a red light and T-boned him.
“Everyone who’s seen the video and come to see me and talk about it, they are just like, eyes wide, ‘You are a lucky man,’” he said.
After the crash, the video shows two people getting out of the car and into another car that had been trailing behind. They drove off.
Vargas still can’t walk. Much of his daily life is a struggle.
“My ankle was completely destroyed,” Vargas said. “I had several head injuries like a skull fracture and a ruptured eardrum.”
Adding insult to the injuries, someone on the street stole Vargas’s phone and wallet while he was lying unconscious.
“Everything was lining up: school, got the job, got the bike, got the new place and then — life isn’t meant to be perfect,” he said.
Vargas says the crash has changed his perspective on life and he’s very grateful he wasn’t hurt worse.
He’s also not too concerned about catching the people who hit him and stole his wallet.
“Why am I even worried about it or thinking about it because who knows where they are?” Vargas said. “Who knows what they are? Who knows what I would even get if they were caught?”
Still, he says Minneapolis police haven’t talked to him once, and it was his family who canvassed the area to secure the surveillance videos.
WCCO asked the Minneapolis Police Department for an update on the case Tuesday and didn’t hear back.
Vargas says he plans to get back on the bike, and his focus is his health and school, which he returned to this week.
“That’s what everybody points out, ‘The people who did this, they have stuff coming to them,’ and I’d rather just know I was doing good, I’m still doing good,” he said. “That good has to come around eventually.”
Vargas says he hopes to be walking again in mid-October.

Men Get Prison In $300M Magazine Fraud Scheme
![Men Get Prison In 0M Magazine Fraud Scheme Men Get Prison In 0M Magazine Fraud Scheme](https://patch.com/img/cdn20/shutterstock/22887410/20240827/043441/styles/patch_image/public/shutterstock-110226563___27162805715.jpg)
MINNEAPOLIS – Two men were sentenced to prison for their separate roles in a $300 million nationwide telemarketing fraud scheme that targeted elderly and vulnerable victims, U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger announced Tuesday.
Anthony Eugene Moulder and Abdou-Rahmane Diallo were sentenced Monday to 120 months and 90 months in prison, respectively.
Moulder pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud on Jan. 13, 2023.
Diallo pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud on March 4, 2024.
Anthony Eugene Moulder
According to federal prosecutors, Moulder, 63, of Fort Myers ran Florida-based companies involved in fraudulent magazine sales, including Gulf Coast Readers Inc., ARCO Media Inc., KMK Magazines Inc., and Leisure Time Resources Inc.
From 2008 through 2020, Moulder purchased lists of current magazine subscribers, many of whom were elderly and vulnerable, authorities said.
Moulder’s sales teams used the list and employed deceptive sales scripts to “induce victims into making large or repeat payments” to Moulder’s companies for unwanted magazine subscriptions, prosecutors said.
Moulder and his companies defrauded thousands of victims across the U.S. out of approximately $86,589,272, according to investigators.
Abdou-Rahmane Diallo
Meanwhile, Diallo, 36, of Montreal, Quebec, was a co-owner and operator of Readers Services, a Canadian-based company that carried out a telemarking fraud scheme, authorities said.
From 2011 through 2020, Diallo targeted people previously been victimized by fraudulent magazine companies and were being billed by one or more fraudulent magazine companies on an ongoing basis, according to investigators.
Diallo pretended to be from the “magazine cancellation department” and offered to pay off the victims’ “outstanding balance” and cancel their existing magazine subscriptions in exchange for a large, lump-sum payment, according to prosecutors.
In reality, the victims did not owe Diallo or his company any money, and Diallo had no power or ability to cancel the victims’ existing magazine subscriptions or any outstanding balances, according to authorities.
Diallo and other participants in his scheme defrauded more than 20,000 victims out of approximately $30 million, investigators said.
