Episode Narrative In the mid afternoon hours of Sunday, August 1st, Severe Thunderstorm Watch number 559 was issued for much of western and north central North Dakota. Later, during early Sunday evening, the watch was expanded to include south central North Dakota. A remnant outflow boundary across northeast Montana and northwest North Dakota was the focus for isolated supercells as they tracked east-southeast from northwest North Dakota in the afternoon, into south central North Dakota in the evening. Additional thunderstorm development took place across north central North Dakota, where mid level short wave impulses provided the necessary lift along a surface trough.

Several severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings were issued. Multiple reports of large hail, several reports of severe thunderstorm winds, and two confirmed tornadoes occurred during this episode.
