The wider storm

Thunderstorms developed ahead of a cold front moving across northern Minnesota during the afternoon hours of the 5th. Storms along the Iron Range of northeastern Minnesota were quite strong and produced damaging winds from the Hibbing area northeast to the Isabella area. Widespread tree damage was observed along with concentrated corridors of more significant damage. NWS meteorologists performed a storm survey of the hardest hit areas near Aurora and Hoyt Lakes and found damage indicative of straight line winds in excess of 90 mph. Additional storms were seen elsewhere across the region that produced minor tree damage and marginally severe hail.

Began near Forest Center (47.8100, -91.2500).
