Special Weather Statement issued July 4 at 5:06PM CDT by NWS Grand Forks ND

Details

Showers and thunderstorms have developed across
parts of northwest Minnesota and are interacting with a weak
frontal zone stretching from eastern Marshall County to western
Otter Tail County. This is resulting in conditions favorable for
funnel clouds with any thunderstorm that develop. These types of
funnel clouds are usually short lived, however, they can
occasionally touch the ground and cause minor damage. Therefore,
if you see a funnel cloud, take cover immediately.
