The episode as NWS MPX wrote it up.
During the afternoon of Sunday, Sept. 15th, the local police department reported that an individual had disappeared in the Redwood River near the 100 block of West Bridge Street. Several juveniles had been swimming in the river when they reported one in the group, had been caught in the current and swept away. This river was above flood stage and had a river flood warning for the Redwood River.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 352 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night) Issued at 352 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2019 Fog and low clouds continued to dissipate this afternoon, but it was slow to lift this morning, especially in east central Minnesota where locally dense fog persisted through noon. A similar scenario is possible later tonight in east central Minnesota/west central Wisconsin as winds remain light and variable. Farther to the west, winds will start to increase from the southeast in respond to a storm system moving out into the Plains. Increasing high cloudiness is also expected as this storm system becomes more organized on Monday. As moisture and instability increase late Monday night, along with a strengthening LLJ, a few showers and thunderstorms could develop across western Minnesota. Temperatures will remain above normal with highs in the 80s Monday afternoon along with dew points in the 60s to near 70. Welcome back to summer. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 352 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2019 Showers and storms may continue to grow more numerous Tuesday morning with the LLJ and moisture transport in place and a mid level disturbance translating northeast across Minnesota. Raised PoPs to 30 percent over central Minnesota, with slights elsewhere, but they may need to be increased fairly significantly in later forecasts if the trend continues. The wave will exit to the northeast around midday, but persistent moisture transport could sustain some scattered showers and storms through Tuesday evening. Some clearing is anticipated by afternoon, and temperatures are likely to rise back into the 80s area wide, with maybe 90 again in far west central MN. A strengthening LLJ Tuesday evening, along with a southeastward moving cold front, will foster the development of widespread showers and thunderstorms overnight. Locally heavy rainfall and a few severe storms are possible, although the best forcing will shift well north of the area during this time. This will slow the front for Wednesday, which should eventually stall somewhere across Wisconsin and Iowa. Chances for showers and storms across WI and southern/eastern MN are maintained through Wednesday night. The front will return northward Thursday and Thursday night with another wave swinging northeast across the Plains from the southwestern U.S. into Friday. This should be a similar set up to earlier in the week, except this system appears to be stronger and isn't expected to get sheared out. As a result, there will be a better potential for severe weather Friday and Friday night with more heavy rainfall also possible. The front should drive southeast for next weekend bringing a cooling trend. However, by the following week another system could emerge over the Plains and bring warmer temps back northward. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 1225 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2019 Stratus/fog has finally lifted or about to lift/dissipate early this afternoon. Very weak low level winds kept mixing at a minimum so it was hard to lift. Tonight could be similar on fog redevelopment, however, it shouldn't be as widespread and dense as this morning. Light and variable winds will become south/southeast overnight in respond of a storm system moving into the plains. KMSP... No additional concerns. /OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/ Mon...VFR. Wind S 15G25 kts.
