During the afternoon of Saturday, June 25th, scattered thunderstorms developed along a cold front in central Minnesota and moved off to the northeast toward Duluth.
A very warm layer aloft kept thunderstorms from developing too far south across southern Minnesota during the early and mid afternoon hours. However, as conditions cooled slightly aloft in the late afternoon, a few severe wind reports and isolated large hail reports were noted as thunderstorms formed farther south.
Most of the severe weather was confined to areas of central Minnesota near Little Falls to north of St. Cloud, then north of the Twin Cities metro area around Elk River to Cambridge. Although local airports and supplemental wind sensors measured gusts between 30 and 50 mph, the added loading of torrential rainfall led to sporadic damage, mainly to small trees and larger branches.
