The National Weather Service in the Twin Cities says it has rained A LOT down around Mankato since Wednesday. The map shows observed rainfall since Wednesday. The most, at over 8" has been seen near Comfrey.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation says Highway 19 east of Henderson to Highway 169 will close at 7:00 p.m. Sunday due to flooding from the Minnesota River following heavy rainfalls.
