A mid level short wave impulse and a surface frontal boundary acted together to trigger late afternoon and early evening thunderstorms over western and north central North Dakota on June 24th.  The most intense storms developed across southwest North Dakota where the strongest low level wind shear and moisture pooling were collocated.  One of the longer tracked supercell storms spawned two distinct and seperate tornadoes. One of those resulted in EF1 tornado damage on a farm. Numerous reports of severe hail and two reports of severe thunderstorm wind gusts were received in addition to tornado and funnel cloud reports.

The same supercell thunderstorm that produced this EF1 tornado from 1628 MST to 1645 MST produced another tornado, an EF0, from 1703 MST to 1738 MST as it moved southeast. The first tornado, the EF1, was in Stark County, while the second, the EF0, started in Stark County and crossed into Hettinger County.
The Stark County tornado touched down about five miles south of Belfield and crossed U.S. Highway 85 as it moved southeast. It lifted nearly 12 miles south-southeast of Belfield after doing significant damage on a farm about 10 miles south-southeast of Belfield. There was no other damage reported outside of that one farm. Four structures were damaged or destroyed and several farm animals were killed. Only minor damage was done to the farm house. In addition to buildings, fences and vehicles were also damaged or destroyed. The damage corresponded to high end EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita Tornado Scale. From that it was determined that wind speeds were around 105 mph. There were no deaths or injuries.
