Much like the July 4th severe episode, surface winds were very weak throughout this event. However, there was a strong upper low that moved into north central North Dakota during the afternoon. The most sun and surface heating occurred around the low. By the early afternoon, a line of thunderstorms developed between Devils Lake and Cooperstown (ND), and several funnel cloud reports were quickly received. Other cells formed around the Grand Forks area and over portions of west central Minnesota. Every thunderstorm seemed to have a shelf cloud associated with it, each producing funnel clouds or low hanging appendages. The thunderstorms over west central Minnesota produced large hail.
