| Episode Narrative | By the early evening of the 17th, a triple point was located near Valley City, North Dakota. From this spot, a cold front extended to the southwest, a warm front extended out to the southeast, and an occluded front extended up toward Devils Lake, North Dakota. Thunderstorms fired up across southeast North Dakota and west central Minnesota during the early evening and produced large hail, strong winds, and a funnel cloud. |
| Event Narrative | A persistent funnel was seen approaching the Norcross area from eastern Traverse County for several minutes before it crossed into western Grant County. |
