Episode Narrative A frontal boundary extended along a line from Langdon to Lisbon late in the afternoon of the 27th. With afternoon heating, strong instability developed across eastern North Dakota. One thunderstorm cell produced a tornado that touched down twice.
Event Narrative Law enforcement observed this tornado as it tracked intermittently along a roughly 4 mile track. The wall cloud structure and storm continued northeastward and produced at least one additional brief tornado. Peak winds were estimated at 75 mph.
