The wider storm

A cluster of thunderstorms formed over the northern Red River Valley during the early morning hours of Saturday, July 4th. A couple of the individual storm cells became fairly strong, but the main hazard shifted to heavy rain. The storms were slow moving, but kept back-building, which led to some areas picking up very heavy rainfall. The northern Valley into extreme northwest Minnesota was already saturated from heavy rain during June, which led to flash flooding.

Began near Poland (48.2100, -97.2500).
