| Episode Narrative | A very unstable air mass remained in place across the upper Midwest along with a surface warm front that laid across central Minnesota. Several rounds of severe thunderstorms moved across portions of central Minnesota the afternoon and evening of Thursday June 18th. Although there were reports of funnel clouds, no tornadoes were reported. |
| Event Narrative | Local Law Enforcement officials and the Emergency Manager reported a nearly continuous path of large hail that fell across northern Benton County from near Rice, northeast to Brennyville. This path is the extension of the hail swath across northern Stearns County. Most of the hail was nickel to quarter size and had depths over 6 inches in some places. The largest hail stone was around tennis ball size. |
