Weather forecast office sourcewfo_sourceStorm Chaser
Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA lone weak cell appeared on radar at 430 pm CDT over northern Grant County, Minnesota. Numerous storm chasers had congregated in this area, hoping to see a good storm to chase. By 5 pm, the cell had blossomed into a strong thunderstorm. Weather spotters, law enforcement, and storm chasers then reported a funnel coming down toward the ground slightly after 505 pm. A tornado warning was issued at 508 pm (until 6 pm) for portions of south central Otter Tail and northeast Grant counties. This tornado tracked about 9 miles through the warned area, before dissipating. At its peak strength, it was rated as an EF-4 tornado. Another rotation was noted a little later, leading to a second tornado warning at 635 pm (until 7 pm), this time for southwest Wadena and southeast Otter Tail counties.
