Round One" brings much needed rains across Minnesota.
Some much needed rains fell over central and southern Minnesota from the afternoon hours of October 2 and continuing through the morning of October 3. Many places in central and southern Minnesota saw one half to an inch of rain with some locales seeing as much as two inches of rain. One of the highest totals found so far was 2.24 inches at Zumbrota in Goodhue County. The Twin Cities International Airport saw .90 of an inch of rain. This was the heaviest 24 hour rainfall recorded at the Twin Cities Airport since August 6, 3013. The .90 inches of rain also set a daily record for October 2, the old record was .85 inches set back in 1900.
The thunderstorms were associated with a warm front and an area of low pressure over southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota. The thunderstorms that were spawned out ahead of this front caused some severe weather as well such as golfball-sized hail at Worthington in Nobles County. Some vivid lightning also accompanied these storms during the evening of October 2 over the Twin Cities.
Listed below are precipitation totals from the National Weather Service.
