| Episode Narrative | A tight surface pressure gradient set up across eastern North Dakota and portions of the northwest quarter of Minnesota, between an area of surface low pressure over west central South Dakota and a high north of the Great Lakes. Evening upper air observations on the 5th and morning upper air observations on the 6th measured 60 to 70 mph wind speeds just off the surface. Some of these 60 to 70 mph wind speeds were pushed down to the surface across southeast North Dakota and portions of west central Minnesota, causing scattered tree and property damage. Rain showers helped to mix the stronger winds down to the surface. |
| Event Narrative | The highest wind gusts were measured by a MNDOT RWIS sensor about 5 miles east of Moorhead between 639 and 652 am CST. An AWOS at the Moorhead Airport (on the southeast edge of town) measured a 58 mph wind gust at 635 am CST. 5 miles northeast of Barnesville, a 70 foot tall elm tree was snapped about 15 feet off the ground, breaking nearby powerlines as it fell around 445 am CST. |
