Episode Narrative A strong and potent upper level disturbance, combined with a cold front sweeping across the eastern Dakotas, fired a line of severe thunderstorms that moved eastward into western Minnesota toward midnight. This line of storms continued to progress east-northeast across southern and central Minnesota, which produced fast-moving tornadoes, severe measured wind gusts, and hail as large as tennis balls. This line slowly weakened as it moved into far eastern Minnesota, with general, non-severe thunderstorms as the line progressed into west central Wisconsin after 3 am.
Event Narrative This tornado began on the Chippewa County side of the Minnesota River, just east of the Montevideo golf course. It moved east-northeast across the south side of Montevideo. Most of the damage was to trees, but siding and shingles were taken off a few homes and the Montevideo Community Center.
