| 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 eight miles, from one mile south-southwest of Key West to around eight miles north of Crookston. Large tree limbs were broken off several trees in shelterbelts and one power pole was cracked near the base. The tornado was viewed as a fairly diffuse and partially rain wrapped funnel with intermittent touchdowns and occasionally lofted debris. Peak winds were estimated at 85 mph. |
