| Episode Narrative |
In the early afternoon of June 18th, Severe Thunderstorm Watch 465 was issued due to thunderstorms developing, and expected to be severe, in the vicinity of an approaching upper level low pressure system. Multiple severe thunderstorm warnings were issued. Several reports of large hail and severe thunderstorm wind gusts were received during the afternoon hours. In addition, flash flooding from very heavy rainfall was reported over far north central North Dakota, where slow moving thunderstorms produced rainfall amounts of up to four inches in one hour. |
| Event Narrative |
Rainfall amounts ranging from three to four inches in one hour resulted in flash flooding over far eastern Bottineau County. Water was reported over Highway Five west of Dunseith, and was closed for several hours. A few county roads were closed due to high water and minor repairs were needed. |
