The Flood Watch includes Freeborn, Le Sueur, Rice, Steele, and Waseca Counties (+more).

Rounds of heavy rainfall could produce totals of 2 to 3 inches, with isolated totals up to 5 inches, leading to the possibility of flash flooding.

Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Low-water crossings may be flooded.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

Most Visited State Parks In Minnesota: Is Your Favorite in the List?

Minnesota has 75 beautiful state parks. The parks have an average of 9,700,000 visitors each year. Interestingly enough, nearly 19% of park visitors come from other states and countries, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Now, my favorite State Park is Jay Cooke in Carlton, MN, but it did not break into the top 5.
