Rainfall totals from Friday and Saturday in and around Crookston totaled anywhere from 3 to 5 inches, and caused the Red Lake River level to jump about nine feet Saturday into Sunday, to around 14.5 feet. It has since begun a slow decline, and National Weather Service hydrologists expect it to continue receding.
But there’s a lot of water out there. Many ditches are full and flowing, and portions of some fields resemble lakes.
Friday’s storm and reports of funnel clouds near Crookston spurred the sounding of the city’s emergency sirens.
The forecast for this week is mostly dry.
