Rainfall Totals Across North Dakota From Sunday’s Severe Storms

Mother Nature was a bit on the cranky side yesterday afternoon.

Severe thunderstorms battered parts of North Dakota bringing locally heavy rain, damaging winds, hail, and even a few tornadoes.  This was all in the forecast from the Storm Prediction Center of the National Weather Service.

The Jamestown area saw the brunt of the severe weather and the Fargo area also picked up heavy rain.

Reports of water over the road on I-94 near Cleveland, North Dakota had motorists looking like they were driving into a lake.  A tornado touchdown was observed near Woodworth, North Dakota, at about 3 pm yesterday.  Here's a look at that twister.

There was also a report of large hail near the city of Jamestown, and grain bins blown over near Marion, North Dakota.

The Capital Region was under the influence of  "The Bismarck Bubble" and saw very little of anything.

The initial line of storms all formed east of Bismarck and those were storms that dropped heavy rain, hail, and produced a tornado east of Jamestown.

Where I live south of Lincoln we received not even a drop of rain.  Parts of north Bismarck and Mandan got clipped by a quick storm around 10 pm last night.  Very little rain fell.
