| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The morning of Saturday, May 16th, a warm front surged northward from the Minnesota, Iowa border to west central and east central Minnesota. Surface winds backed from the northeast, to the east-southeast once the front went through the area. In addition, there was a sharp clearing line south of this front that led to strong surface heating once the front passed. ||Thunderstorms began to develop across southwest and west central Minnesota during the afternoon, and moved northward. Once the storms moved northward near the warm front, the storms quickly became tornadic. Some tornadoes occurred for only a minute or two, but others had a longer duration of 5 to 10 minutes and looked quite large according to video. Just about all the tornadoes moved over farm fields that were still open, as corn and bean plants were just beginning to emerge. A few outbuildings were damaged or destroyed along with roof and tree damage. One of the storms that developed southeast of Litchfield, Minnesota, caused damage to several buildings. Another storm moved near Kimball, Minnesota, and damaged a schools athletic field. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Video from a storm chaser showed a funnel that was completely separate from the circulation that produced the Sedan tornado and the tornado 2 to 4 miles north of Sedan from 1841 to 1847. It is possible this touched down, but there is not enough evidence to be certain. |
