| Episode Narrative |
Quite a bit of remnant cloud cover crossed the Dakotas and Minnesota during most of the morning and afternoon of the 26th. However, by late morning and early afternoon, some clearing did finally occur from Jamestown to Devils Lake to Grand Forks. In this area, temperatures quickly climbed into the lower 80s with dew points around 70. By late afternoon, thunderstorms fired around the Grafton area and moved slowly east-southeast into the early evening, finally ending in northern Polk County by sunset. |
| Event Narrative |
The tornado tracked intermittently for about three miles, from about three miles northeast of Warren to about two miles west of Radium. One farmstead had some minor shingle damage, tree damage, and paint scarring from windborne gravel and other debris. Another farmstead had significant roof damage to a small wooden quonset due mainly to falling tree limbs. There was some tree damage in shelterbelts and minor crop scarring in fields. Peak winds were estimated at 95 mph. |
