| Episode Narrative |
As thunderstorms rolled across extreme southeast North Dakota into west central Minnesota, they produced strong winds along a line from Gwinner, North Dakota, to just north of Fergus Falls, Minnesota. The highest wind gusts, 83 mph, were measured just south of the Wahpeton, North Dakota, airport. Several hours later, another thunderstorm produced large hail west of Parkers Prairie. |
