| Episode Narrative |
Warm mid level temperatures held back convection until the mid evening of the 26th, when a line of thunderstorms flared up north of Devils Lake. As these thunderstorms moved east, they began to bow and produce strong straight line winds at the surface. Just before midnight, thunderstorms to the south of the initial line strengthened and also produced sporadic reports of strong winds from south of Cooperstown down through the Fargo/Moorhead area and into portions of west central Minnesota. There was a bit of a lull in the early morning from severe storms, but another strong line fired up again by mid afternoon. However, by this time, most of the strongest storms were over Grant County and areas further south and east. The Highway 10 corridor from Barnesville to Perham to Sebeka was hit by several rounds of thunderstorms and heavy rain, which resulted in flash flooding. |
| Event Narrative |
Nearly three inches of rain fell, causing flooding in low spots. Local sloughs and creeks also filled with water and overspilled their banks. |
