| Episode Narrative | On the morning of July 4th, a cold front pushed into central North Dakota, eventually reaching eastern North Dakota around the noon hour. Ahead of the front, a stationary boundary also set up, basically running along the U. S. Highway 2 corridor. South of this stationary boundary temperatures surged into the 90s with dew points in the low 70s, resulting in a heat advisory for portions of the area. Precipitable water values were also quite high, ranging around two inches, which increased the probability for heavy rain with any of the thunderstorms. As the boundaries continued to move east during the day, showers and thunderstorms marched from near Sarles, North Dakota, along and north of the U. S. Highway 2 corridor to near Bemidji, Minnesota. |
| Event Narrative | Power lines, one tree, and multiple tree branches were blown down. |
