| Episode Narrative | By late in the day on the 7th, an east-west lying warm front had set up just north of the South Dakota border, extending eastward into west central Minnesota. South of the warm front, temperatures were in the mid to upper 80s with dew points in the lower 70s. Thunderstorms formed along and north of the warm front and several produced tornadoes. |
| Event Narrative | Several large tree limbs were twisted or broken down in tree stands and shelterbelts. Peak winds were estimated at 90 mph. |
