Morning sunshine and moisture from recent rainfall combined to produce afternoon instability along the Red River Valley. In addition, a frontal boundary set up from the Lake of the Woods down into the southern Red River Valley. A few weak thunderstorm cells formed along the boundary by mid afternoon. One of the cells formed just southeast of the Fargo Moorhead area, and it quickly produced a funnel cloud. Many people from the city looking to the southeast saw this funnel and also the resulting tornado. There were also other reports of funnel clouds and tornadoes.

The second complex of showers and embedded thunderstorms in two days moved across East Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and North Louisiana during the morning and afternoon hours on May 27th, bringing about widespread rains to the region. This complex developed well ahead of a closed upper level low pressure system over the Southern Rockies, which spread slowly east in the broad southwest flow aloft extending into the Lower Mississippi Valley. As it interacted with moderate instability and stronger shear over Southeast Texas, Southern and Central Louisiana, some of these storms became severe over portions of Deep East and Southeast Texas, as well as Northcentral and Southern Louisiana during the afternoon, producing numerous reports of downed trees and power lines. Given the already saturated grounds from rain that fell less than a day before, the heavy rainfall associated with these storms produced flash flooding over these areas as well.
