During the afternoon of Tuesday, June 9th, a broken line of thunderstorms developed from Redwood Falls, northeast to Willmar, and Little Falls. These storms developed along a sharp boundary where winds shifted from northwest to southeast in a small area.
Although instability wasn't strong, there was enough wind shear in the lower layer of the atmosphere to cause the storms to rotate. Once these storms had adequate rotation, a few developed funnel clouds and one storm dropped a tornado north of Danube in an open field. No damage was reported but it was captured on video for a few minutes which lifted dust from the farm field.

A slow moving frontal boundary which contributed to widespread severe weather on July 22 moved further north of the mid-Atlantic on July 23. However, another cold front began to approach from the northwest out of the Great Lakes, along with multiple fast moving upper level disturbances. The environment ahead of the front was characterized by moderate to strong instability, weak to moderate shear, and high moisture. The greatest forcing and lift from the approaching disturbances remained north of the region over southern New England, but thunderstorms still developed over the mid-Atlantic. With plenty of instability to work with some storms became severe mainly as clusters or line segments producing damaging winds.

A stalled frontal boundary was draped in the area of southern New Jersey and Delmarva on July 30. Meanwhile, another cold front was approaching the region from the northwest. A warm and very humid air mass developed ahead of this second front, leading to the development of moderate to strong instability over much of the mid-Atlantic. The approach of the front also gradually increased wind shear values, though greater shear remained further north over New York and New England. Nonetheless, frontal forcing in the unstable air mass was sufficient to trigger scattered thunderstorms, some of which became strong to severe and produced a number of reports of damaging winds.

An upper level ridge of high pressure centered over the Southern Plains on July 10th, began to amplify and expand north-northeast into the Plains and Mississippi Valley through the middle portions of the month, resulting in increased subsidence and hence, hotter temperatures as readings climbed into the mid to upper 90s across much of the Ark-La-Tex. Very little mixing of dewpoints occurred during this time period, resulting in heat indices ranging from 105 to 110 degrees during the afternoons across Red River and Bowie Counties in Northeast Texas through July 16th.
