| Episode Narrative |
A warm front remained nearly stationary over southern Minnesota in the late afternoon and early evening hours on July 15th. Showers and thunderstorms developed along this front and tracked over southeast Minnesota. Some isolated wind damage occurred with corn blown down near Waltham (Mower County). The showers and thunderstorms produced very heavy rainfall as well with reports from Austin (Mower County) of 3.17 inches and 4.11 inches near Mantorville (Dodge County). The heavy rain caused flooding of roadways near the cities of Austin, Rochester (Olmsted County) and Oslo (Dodge County). |

Heavy rains pushed Turtle Creek out of its banks from the 16th into the 17th. The creek crested over a foot above the flood stage at 11.74 feet. |
