Wider weather episode

Despite a cool and relatively dry surface layer, conditions were much more favorable for elevated showers and thunderstorms. Good 850mb warm advection, a decent low level jet, and strong shear were expected during the overnight hours. Thunderstorms crossed the border north of Langdon just after midnight on the 5th and tracked to the east-southeast through the pre-dawn hours, staying mainly north of a line from Langdon to Park Rapids.
