Heavy rains soaked parts of Western Wisconsin late Thursday night into early Friday morning. Rainfall totals as high as 6.5 inches were reported around the area, with that 6.5 inch amount coming in from the Durand area. The radar loop above shows the system as it moved through at pretty much a crawl, resembling the counter-clockwise motion you would see from a hurricane. While not a very large system in general, this cell made its presence known, forcing evacuations in the Town of Arkansas in Pepin County, as well as causing mudslides in the Maiden Rock area.
Above is a radar still taken shortly after 3am. You can see a pretty good swath of 3-5 inches of rain, as designated by the purple, and the heaviest amounts falling just to the west of the Durand area.
