The wider storm

During the early morning hours a thunderstorm cluster moved into the western part of the Devils Lake Basin producing severe wind and hail. Later in the morning a thunderstorm cluster developed in northeast SD and expanded into a larger complex as it passed into far southeast ND and across west central and northwest MN, where it produced severe wind gusts in southeast ND. As this complex moved east a wake low resulted in non thunderstorm high winds in southeast ND.

Began near Niles (48.2700, -99.3300).
