Wider weather episode

Scattered storms developed near the South Dakota and Minnesota border during the early evening on June 28th, then quickly strengthened into discrete supercells as they progressed into west central Minnesota. These storms produced scattered reports of large hail, thunderstorm wind damage, and three tornadoes.

As the evening progressed, the supercells merged into clusters and eventually into long line that produced more widespread wind damage and five tornadoes in Carver County. The storms gradually weakened after moving into Wisconsin and south central Minnesota.
