Episode Narrative By mid afternoon of July 8th, temperatures across eastern North Dakota and the northwest quarter of Minnesota had risen into the mid to upper 80s with dew points in the mid 60s to low 70s. A stationary boundary set up from west of Bismarck to near Rolla, North Dakota. Thunderstorms initially fired along this boundary, but as the evening wore on, the storms merged into lines, which tracked to the east-southeast. These storms mainly produced strong winds, but heavy rain was also reported in many areas. The Fargo-Moorhead area picked up quite a bit of rain in a short period of time, which resulted in flash flooding.
Event Narrative This tornado tracked for less than a quarter mile. Peak winds were estimated at 70 mph.
