Episode Narrative Temperatures were only in the mid 70s by late in the afternoon of July 9th. However, dew points were around 70 degrees with a surface low and several boundaries over southeast North Dakota into west central Minnesota. Thunderstorms formed over southeast North Dakota and tracked east-northeast into adjacent areas of west central Minnesota. These storms produced numerous tornado and funnel cloud reports.
Event Narrative Twin funnels moved across the Red River north of Breckenridge and produced at least one damaging touchdown path. This tornado was the second (2B) which formed in this cyclic series. It touched down near highway 75 and tracked northeast, breaking numerous large tree branches in shelterbelts along its path. One farmstead had a few ash and cottonwood trees snapped. Peak winds were estimated at 95 mph.
