| Episode Narrative | Downstream of a strong upper level short wave trough, atmospheric destabilization was occurring late Thursday morning across much of west and central North Dakota in the wake of earlier thunderstorms, along with large scale ascent ahead of the trough resulting in surface low pressure deepening over southwest North Dakota. Tornado Watch number 333 was issued for much of west and all of central North Dakota early in the afternoon of Thursday, June 17th, due to ongoing severe convection and for the expected increase in storm coverage and severity. Storms rapidly intensified throughout the afternoon as large scale ascent and deep layer wind shear increased across the region, and as the surface low lifted northward towards Canada. Multiple severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings were issued during this event. Two flash flood warnings were issued as well. Numerous reports of large hail, severe thunderstorm winds, and heavy rain were received. More importantly, communication with local officials confirmed there were four tornado touchdowns, one of which resulted in minor damage in the city of Hettinger. |
