A well-forecast heavy precipitation event drenched the already soggy southeast part of Minnesota with four to six inch rains. The heaviest rains fell in a line from near Austin and Albert Lea, northeastward though Waseca and Zumbrota and across the Mississippi River into Wisconsin. The highest total from a volunteer rain gauge was 6.02 inches 4.7 miles north of Rochester. An automated rain gauge two miles northeast of Rochester measured 6.64 inches. The University of Minnesota, Southern Research and Outreach Center in Waseca reported 5.38 inches in the 24 hours ending in the morning of September 5, with an additional 1.06 inches falling the day before. Saturated fields were an issue as well as street flooding in the hardest hit areas. Rivers that were at flood stage the week before were on the rise once again, and excessive water on the road closed I-90 for about a half-hour between Mapleview and Austin.

A smaller area of heavy rain fell to the northwest of the Twin Cities metro area with some two to three inch rainfall amounts reported. 3.01 inches was reported just southeast of Maple Lake in Wright County. The Twin Cities saw steady light to moderate rain over a nine-hour period on September 4, with an event total of 1.20 inches at the Twin Cities International Airport.

The storms also produced an EF-1 tornado on September 4, northwest of Rushford near the Fillmore-Winona County line, with Mostly light tree and structural damage was reported.
