| Episode Narrative |
Two distinct areas of thunderstorms developed across eastern North Dakota and the northwest quarter of Minnesota during the late evening of July 24th into the early morning of the 25th. The first ran along the U. S. Highway 2 corridor from Devils Lake to Grand Forks to Fosston, while the second ran along and just south of the Interstate 94 corridor from Kathryn to Kindred to Barnesville. Roughly one to two inches of rain fell along the U. S. Highway 2 corridor while three to six inches of rain fell along the Interstate 94 corridor. Since the area was in the middle of a D2 drought, per the U. S. Drought Monitor, the rain did not have a big effect on area rivers. Most of the severe weather occurred along the Interstate 94 corridor, with some large hail and strong winds gusts reported. |
