Several rounds of strong thunderstorms moved across southern Minnesota, producing torrential rainfall with rates as high as 3 inches per hour. Precipitable water values were 1.6 to 1.7 inches of liquid water, which is equivalent to 150 to 175% above normal for the Upper Midwest for early June.
Rainfall totals earlier Saturday afternoon were around 2 to 4 inches across the western Suburbs from previous thunderstorms. After 3 am Sunday, June 1st, the third round of strong thunderstorms moved across mainly the southern part of the Twin Cities, and into west central Wisconsin.
Flooding reports started to come in around daybreak Sunday morning, June 1st. One of the most significant flooding report came from the southwest suburb of Eden Prairie where a large area of saturated soil collapsed causing part of a house to lose its backyard. Eventually this house had to be removed due to unstable soil conditions and the large eroded area of dirt and debris. Other areas of the Twin Cities had road closures due to flooding, and basement flooding.
In Washington County,  Wilmes Lake trail crossing in Woodbury, was blocked with debris due to 1-3 feet of flowing water. In addition, Lake Road on the southern tip of Colby Lake (Edgewater Drive) was flooded over, about 8. Other reports of flooded roadways included: Conifer Pass, Princeton Bay, Leyland Place, Leyland Trail @ Dartford Road, Antrim Rd @ Woodbury Drive, Settlers Ridge Parkway @ Stone Mill Farms Curve, 6100 block of Poplar Road and the 11300 block of Harness Draw.
Due to several heavy rainfall events in late May,  Lake Minnetonka reached a new record high of 930.66 MSL on Tuesday, June 3 (an increase of 5.4 inches since Friday, May 30th, 2014). The District was following a DNR-approved operating procedure for the Gray���s Bay Dam and was discharging water at a rate of 300 cubic feet per second into the Minnetonka Creek which had flooding along it across southern Hennepin County.
Some of the higher rainfall totals during this flood event include:
