200-frame radar loop from Chanhassen, showing strong thunderstorms pinwheeling across southern and central Minnesota through about 1:45 AM on Monday June 29, 2020. Thunderstorms continued into mid-morning, as can be seen here.

Over 18 hours of thunderstorm activity led to widespread heavy rains and scattered flash-flooding across southern Minnesota.
A muggy, summer-like air mass surged northward into the region behind a warm front on Sunday June 28th. The leading edge of this warm air had kicked off thunderstorms in Nebraska and Iowa the night before, and the remnants of that activity formed into an miniature low-pressure system that moved into southern Minnesota on Sunday afternoon.
Thunderstorms began developing around 3 PM, with the activity slowly expanding and increasing in intensity through the remainder of the afternoon. As the storm complex grew, it took on a distinct "cyclonic circulation" pattern, with rain and thunderstorms wrapping counter-clockwise around a central core that remained largely free of precipitation.
The southern edge of the circulation remained active throughout the night, and thunderstorms also developed along the warm front in southern Minnesota, and ahead of a weak disturbance moving eastward from the Dakotas. The complex weather pattern led to multiple corridors and focal points of heavy precipitation.
One broad swath of heavy rain fell from southern Brown and northern Watonwan Counties, northeastward through Mankato, Northfield, Cannon Falls, Red Wing, and the southeastern half of the Twin Cities area. Here, precipitation totals of 2-4 inches were common, with isolated areas receiving 5-8 inches of rain by Monday morning. An automated tipping bucket rain gauge on the Minnesota River at Judson (just northwest of Mankato) reported 8.46 inches through noon on Monday. Human observers in the CoCoRaHS network reported totals on Monday morning (as rain was still falling) of 4.55 inches in St. Peter, 5.40 inches near Burnsville, 4.80 inches in Woodbury, 5.54 inches near Cannon Falls, and 6.13 inches between Hastings and Miesville. Law enforcement reported water and mudslides covering roads in valleys south of the Twin Cities.
Another swath of high totals was oriented northwest-to-southeast, running just east of the upper stretches of the Minnesota River, from eastern Chippewa into central Sibley County. This narrower swath of 2-4 inches also had some much higher totals, including a report of 8 inches from a volunteer rainfall observer in Wintrop in Sibley County. A National Weather Service cooperative observer near Bird Island recorded 7.14 inches on Monday morning.
Despite the widespread heavy rain, and the peak value of over 8 inches in 24 hours, this event did not have a large enough footprint of 6-inch totals to qualify as a "mega-rain" event. Based on analysis of rainfall reports, radar, and automated gauges, the 6-inch rainfall totals appear to cover about 400 square miles, spread over four distinct areas in southern and southeastern Minnesota. To qualify as a mega-rain, the storm would have needed to produce at least 1000 square miles of six-inch rainfall totals.
The National Weather Service in Chanhassen gathered and provided the following rainfall reports from this storm event.
