| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A band of heavy rain developed along a warm front that lifted north through southern and central Minnesota during the afternoon and early evening of August 16. Small low-topped supercells developed within the band and produced numerous tornadoes. In addition, a large circulation was noted in southwest Minnesota during the late evening, early morning hours. This circulation produced isolated severe wind gusts near Redwood Falls, along with flooding as this circulation lasted for several hours in the vicinity. ||This was the most widespread and intense rainfall event of the year in Minnesota, with 1-2 inch totals covering approximately 50,000 square miles, or about 60% of the state. Totals of greater than three inches were concentrated in a multi-county area in western and central Minnesota, generally centered on the Minnesota River. The largest official 24-hour rainfall report came from Redwood Falls, where the airport recorded 9.45 inches, and a volunteer with the National Weather Service's cooperative observer program reported 8.12 inches.||The flood waters caused significant damage to county and township roads, a section of regional railway, and county agricultural drainage systems. The cost of the damage was estimated at $675,750 in total relief. |
