Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeOn the morning of July 21st, a thunderstorm just north of the Canadian border moved southeast into Cavalier County, North Dakota, where it dropped large hail. This storm weakened for a few hours, but remained intact. The same storm re-intensified by mid afternoon over eastern Marshall County, Minnesota, and remained very strong until it reached the town of Saum, in Beltrami County, Minnesota. Meanwhile, temperatures by the afternoon of the 21st rose into the lower 90s, with dew points in the mid 60s to lower 70s. More strong thunderstorms moved into the Cooperstown, North Dakota, area, and tracked to the east-southeast. Then, during the early evening, a line of strong storms consolidated from near Bemidji to just east of Moorhead, Minnesota. This line of storms held together as it moved to the east-southeast. By late evening, more strong storms moved into the Devils Lake region, still tracking to the east-southeast. This area of storms continued to hold together, flaring up near Hunter, North Dakota, and near Pelican Rapids, Minnesota, where it produced several reports of strong winds.
