A weak cold front draped from south central into southeast North Dakota was the focus for severe convection from the mid afternoon through the early evening. Isolated severe thunderstorms initially developed over Oliver County south of Lake Sakakawea, then tracked east southeast along the cold front into the southern James River Valley. One confirmed tornado, rated as an EF0, occurred over central Morton County north of Sweet Briar Lake.  Besides this weak tornado, the severe thunderstorms also produced large hail and severe thunderstorm wind gusts.
