Aside form an impressive supercell that traveled from Forest City to Winona over the course of yesterday (a nearly 140 mile trek), most of the rain over the past 24 hours fell in parts of Minnesota as storms overnight congregated in torrential a line between Mankato and Baldwin County, Wisconsin east of the Twin Cities. Some of this moved through parts of Southern Minnesota Monday morning.
