Storms intensified during the mid afternoon hours, as temperatures climbed into the mid to upper 80s with dew points in the 70s. These storms continued through the early evening hours, producing large hail, damaging wind gusts, and very heavy rain. Clusters of storms tracked through the Wahpeton-Breckenridge and the Fergus Falls areas. These storms moved fairly slowly, which resulted in the heavy rain.
