Episode Narrative A potent low-pressure system impacted the region during the afternoon and evening hours of May 30th. A larger scale Derecho tracked from far southeastern South Dakota, through much of western through northcentral Minnesota. Widespread damage was reported from damaging winds, and tornadoes. Hail up to 1.5 inches was reported as well.
Event Narrative This tornado was wrapped in damaging downburst winds and rain as it rapidly tracked to the northeast from about 2 NW of the Staples Airport to about 2 NNE of the Staples Airport. It appears to have developed roughly half a mile east of an earlier tornado, based on divergent tree damage paths and supported by radar depictions. It snapped several poplar, ash, and spruce trees along its path. Peak winds to 90 mph. Time estimated based on radar.
