The wider storm

During the afternoon and evening of Tuesday, July 12th, a weak cold front was moving southward across central Minnesota. A cluster of storms developed ahead of this front, and with 30-40 knots of effective wind shear, a few severe wind gusts occurred across central and east central Minnesota. Although instability was weak, there was enough DCAPE with the strongest storms to produce these damaging winds.

Began near Brunswick (45.7800, -93.2900).
