Heavy rain fell across parts of southern Minnesota and central Wisconsin Wednesday night through Thursday, setting new monthly rainfall records for some. Radar rainfall estimates show a swath of 6-10 inches fell across southern Minnesota! Numerous evacuations took place and it will be weeks before things dry out.
All this rain will likely lead to some flooding along the Mississippi River within the next week or so as that water flows downstream. The water will more than likely enter into the mighty Mississippi at different times from the tributary rivers and flood warnings may be needed over the next several days. People along the river should pay close attention to the local river forecasts.
