| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Several waves of thunderstorms moved across central and southern Minnesota, and into west central Wisconsin between the late afternoon of Wednesday, August 10th, through Thursday morning, August 11th. A few of the storms produced large hail and severe wind gusts as several bow echoes formed. However, the main hazard became the extremely heavy rainfall with bouts of rainfall rates as high as 2 to 3 inches per hour. ||By Thursday morning, a large area of 3 to 6 inches of rain fell between Appleton City to Willmar and Hutchinson, southward to Granite Falls and Redwood Falls. Inside this area, there was a smaller area of 6 to 8 inches of rain that fell between Appleton City to Willmar, southward to Olivia. The highest totals were near Olivia and Willmar where two local observations measured 8.78 and 8.09 inches respectfully. ||These amounts set the stage for areal and river flooding, with some flash flooding where rainfall rates maximized during the evening near Hutchinson.||This was also the second Mega-rain event this year. The DNR classifies a Mega-rain event as an area that receives six inches of rain and covers more than 1,000 square miles. The last event was July 11-12, 2016 in central Minnesota. According to the Minnesota DNR, this was the first year (2016), that the state had two mega rainfall events in one year.||The following are some of the higher rainfall amounts during this event that ended Thursday morning, August 11th. ||...Anoka County...|Blaine 3.10 |Coon Rapids 3.02 ||...Blue Earth County...|Mapleton 4.50 |Mapleton 3.30 | |...Brown County...|New Ulm 3.54 | |...Carver County...|Mayer 4.91 |Norwood/Young America 4.54 ||...Chippewa County...|Watson 1 NE 4.93 |Laq Qui Parle 4.60 |Montevideo 4.29 ||...Dakota County...|Burnsville 3.69 |Eagan 3.24 ||...Goodhue County...|Wanamingo 4.93 |Zumbrota 4.75 |Red Wing 4.73 ||...Hennepin County...|Bloomington 3.95 |Lake Minnetonka 3.70 |Maple Grove 3.48 |Minnetonka 3.37 ||...Kanabec County...|Mora 3.23 ||...Kandiyohi County...|Willmar 5 North 8.09 |Willmar 7.90 |Willmar 2 North 7.87 |Willmar East 7.23 |Pennock 3.54 ||...Lac qui Parle County...|Madison 5.55 |Madison 4.63 |Montevideo 3.75 ||...Le Sueur County...|Le Center 3.40 ||...McLeod County...|Hutchinson 6.32 |Brownton 5.40 |Lester Prairie 4.81 |Glencoe 4.65 |Winsted 4.50 |Silver Lake 4.23 ||...Meeker County...|Cosmos 5.48 |Manannah 3.55 |Dassel 3.55 |Litchfield 3.26 ||...Ramsey County...|St Paul 3.77 |Falcon Heights 3.73 |Roseville 3.49 |North St. Paul 3.02 ||...Redwood County...|Redwood Falls 4.95 ||...Renville County...|Olivia 8.78 |Lake Lillian 7.12 |Delhi 6.80 |Danube 6.05 |Sacred Heart 5.40 |Bird Island 5.12 |Hector 4.65 ||...Scott County...|Prior Lake 3.86 |Shakopee 3.74 |Jordan 3.45 ||...Sibley County...|Gibbon 6.70 |Arlington 4.71 |Green Isle 4.48 ||...Steele County...|Owatonna 4.38 ||...Waseca County...|Waseca 4.58 ||...Washington County...|Lake Elmo 3.73 |Stillwater 3.45 |Afton 3.35 |Newport 3.22 |Woodbury 3.16 ||...Wright County...|French Lake 3.91 |Hanover 3.60 |Big Lake 3.27 |Buffalo 3.05 |Rockford 3.03. |
