That was a report from someone in the cocorahs network. Given how focused the heavy rain was, it's possible that the measurement site in question is just far enough from your house that they got significantly less.
You can zoom in on that to find the area in question. The locations shown are where the measurement was taken.

I'd be curious if you can find a gauge with less than 1.3" since June 1.
The crops are just money, but we've planted over 2,000 trees around the farm during my time here. A hell of a lot of work went into planting all them. We've got some CRP where we've planted blocks of Red Cedar for the deer and pheasants. Cedars are very hardy, but they are now dropping their needles. It would be a shame to lose them.

Seeing a few under 1 inch since June 1.
I'm apparently at 3.33... so, June1 to yesterday 1.24

That 1.58 reading in Plymouth is basically .25 miles east of my house.
The 3.6 reading just northwest of it is maybe a 5 minute drive from home. That’s a big difference in what is maybe 2 miles as the crow flies
Holy haze right now. It didn't seem that bad this morning/afternoon, but it's REALLY noticeable now. Thanks, Canada! 
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.

It looks like it’s gotten worse in the last hour too

I was just watering the flowers and you're 100% right. It's hazy as can be, at least for the Twin Cities.
I was up north midday and the further up you got it was becoming really gross, like walking into a bar before the smoking ban

I think it’s Oregon now.

I'll be curious what my daughter says. She's at a camp near Leech Lake and we're picking her up on Sunday. Of course we may witness it firsthand ourselves too
KFAN said it was coming from northern MN this morning. I was at Back Channel in Spring Park (Orono) until about 6ish, and it wasn't that bad at all. As I got within the 494-694 loop, it was like night and day.

Looks like the smoke is sticking around until Thursday at least.

I'm out near Waupaca, WI on their chain of lakes and it got very hazy suddenly at about 5:00pm. Got to the point it was a touch tricky docking the pontoon. Lots of docks in one small area. I was keying in on the color of the one I was aiming for, haziness made it hard to tell the different colors apart as everything went a bit sepia.
I am genuinely concerned for the future of this planet, with how crazy weather has been lately (and all summer).
That being said, it’s 53 right now where I’m at. Good thing breweries sell sweatshirts. 
This AM the air is clear around ML
All day yesterday it was very "foggy".

Not disputing that it's dry, but the drought monitor is a joke.
I drive up 71. From Olivia to New London Spicer there's green grass and green fields, yet they're severe.
Same with the stretch along I90 from Blue Earth to Albert Lea. Looks like a freaking garden.

LOL, I think I hit a nerve 
. Not a perfect map for sure as pockets of rain have hit certain areas in the same county. I can see the difference for me as my home farm is black dirt and the other farm that is about 12 miles away is mostly sandy and light soil. About the same amount of rain, but the sandy soil farm is burning up much faster.

The three categories are described as:
Destructive damage threat: At least 2.75 inch diameter (baseball-sized) hail and/or 80 mph thunderstorm winds. Warnings with this tag will automatically activate a Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) on smartphones within the warned area.
Considerable damage threat: At least 1.75 inch diameter (golf ball-sized) hail and/or 70 mph thunderstorm winds. This will not activate a WEA.
Baseline or "base" damage threat: 1.00 inch (quarter-sized) hail and/or 58 mph thunderstorm winds. This will not activate a WEA. When no damage threat tag is present, damage is expected to be at the base level.

I wonder how they define "area". Is it by county? We live in Dakota County which is relatively large metro county. I used to get weather alerts on my weather but turned them off as too many of them were for the southern cities like Burnsville, Lakeville, Rosemount, etc.
p.s. I would have thought Dakota County was one of the larger counties in MN. I was WAY wrong. It is the 58th largest county in Minnesota. #cityboy

When the overnight forecast went from 0.3” to 1.1” I thought we had a night of rain ahead of us.
Not a drop.
I found rain. 900 miles from MN in Nashville. Our plane landed in a storm, and then sat on the tarmac for an hour before they allowed us to deplane because of all the lightning. The funny thing is, the storm popped up over the airport and didn't move. The area around the airport got 4 inches from that storm.

Lots of thunder & lightning north of the south end of ML last night around 0330 but very little rain.
Based on the sky down here in SSP I thought we were going to get dumped on this morning. Very little rain so far.

Same in Woodbury. Black skies for over an hour now, but barely a drop. It's dry everywhere this year, but the east metro in particular has been a desert. Seems like every time the west metro gets something, it falls apart by the time it gets here.

Super dark in Blaine. Light (read that as insignificant) rain and distant thunder. Everything slid to the west.
I don't want to look at my next water bill.
We got .5" in NYA.

Yeah, in Plymouth, we got like .3"

You lucky SOB. We got skunked again here (55 miles W of you)
Sounds like conditions are ripe for a Derecho tonight in most of Wisconsin and portion of eastern MN.

Just coming in here to express my hopes that friends in Wisconsin stay safe tonight.
It looked torturous this morning in my area, but little came of it. We'll see what tonight brings.

Smoke is so bad on ML this AM that visability is down to 1/2 mile.
A health advisory is out for here.
You can smell it today. Fun stuff.

It's smoky down here now too.
It smells like wildfire down here in the south metro.

Same here in Woodbury. It's just so weird out there. Hard to tell how much is clouds and how much is smoke.

Good reminder for me to order a new furnace filter.

So I finally did something right? Put in a new filter last week that's supposed to take out smoke and odors.

I'm glad I replaced mine about a week ago. It smells like Hammerheart Brewing made the atmosphere their new brew deck.
My filter is only about 3 months old, but I ordered a couple of new filters and will replace once the smoke pollution goes away.
Yep, haze at just about ground-level here in Mtka/Hopkins. It's bad. MPR said it is the worst day in MN history for AQI.

Much better here today on the SE end of Mille Lacs. Still some haze but much improved from the last couple days
Google Ontario or Manitoba wildfire map and look at the areas, by zooming in, that some of these fires have consumed.
Is this smoke gonna be out of the metro by tomorrow? Day on the boat planned tomorrow, but if it's going to be as bad as it has been these last two days we might not go out...

Allegedly it should clear out today, at least that's the report I just heard.
