Heavy Rain in our yard light Wednesday Night September 15th
A strong low pressure system with a strong warm front in Southern Minnesota brought widespread high rainfall totals across the area. after bringing Severe Weather to Southern Minnesota, It transferred into a heavy rain event. The rain came in the form on Thunderstorms with vivid lightning that formed late in the day in Minnesota, and then funneled into Western Wisconsin. some of this rainfall that hit was very heavy. Some places have recorded totals near 2 inches, with some radar estimates were over 3 inches in Northwest Polk County! Thankfully there was no flooding in the area with this rain. At my location I got 1.29" which is more then what the first part entire month has brought. This system continues the abundant rainfall the area has gotten this year, and it brings the closest to average rainfall we've been in quite a few years. I've picked up 24.83" so far this year. This is the closet I've been to my yearly average rainfall of about 26 inches since I started recording. If we continue this trend, It looks likely that this year will end out with above normal rainfall totals.
