Yup, monster but brief tornado like spinning up for one last hoorah.

Insanity on the latest fargo scan... at least 210+ gtg

60 mile width north to south on those 100 mph derecho winds

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1392
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1139 PM CDT FRI JUN 20 2025

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA INTO NORTHWESTERN
MINNESOTA

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 449...

VALID 210439Z - 210545Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 449 CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...A DERECHO MAY CONTINUE FOR A FEW MORE HOURS, WITH SEVERE
WINDS REMAINING WIDESPREAD, AND 75-100 MPH GUSTS STILL POSSIBLE IN
THE SHORT TERM. SEVERAL QLCS TORNADOES MAY ALSO OCCUR.

DISCUSSION...A DERECHO-PRODUCING BOW-ECHO MCS CONTINUES TO RAPIDLY
PROPAGATE EASTWARD, ACCOMPANIED BY A WIDESPREAD/HIGH-END SEVERE WIND
SWATH. GIVEN THE PERSEVERANCE OF A STRONG REAR-INFLOW JET AND LARGE,
LINE-END MESOVORTEX, PROLONGED SEVERE WINDS REMAIN POSSIBLE WELL
INTO THE TRAILING PRECIPITATION REGION OF THE PARENT BOW-ECHO MCS,
BEHIND THE LEADING LINE. TO THE EAST, TORNADIC SUPERCELLS PERSIST,
WITH RECENT EVIDENCE OF STRONG TORNADOES. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
HOURS, THE BOW-ECHO WILL MERGE WITH THESE SUPERCELLS, AND THE
SUPERCELLS WILL PERSIST FOR SOME TIME BEFORE GRADUALLY MORPHING INTO
PRONOUNCED, DEEP MESOVORTICES EMBEDDED IN THE LINE. THROUGH THIS
ENTIRE PHASE, SEVERE WINDS AND LINE-EMBEDDED TORNADOES WILL REMAIN A
CONCERN. 75-100 MPH GUSTS AND EF2+ TORNADOES WILL BE MOST LIKELY IN
THE EARLY MERGING PROCESS. A FEW HOURS FROM NOW, MAINLY 65-75 MPH
WINDS WILL BE LIKELY, THOUGH A FEW EMBEDDED 75+ MPH GUSTS AND/OR
QLCS TORNADOES WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE.

I noticed that when John McKinney's crew were hook slicing the initial tornadic supercell on I-94 south of Sanborn after the first significant tornado cycle. There were so many areas that looked like they were rotating they were getting confused and radar wasn't being much help. It looked like there was one straight ahead of them (that they wisely pulled over and stopped before driving underneath it) and one to the south which shortly produced the cone which quickly became rain-wrapped.

TDS west of Kindred?

[joshoctober16]

i think we are about to have something near white earth.

 

[joshoctober16]

there might be a CC drop at white earth , velocity on that spot as well.

 

[tornado examiner]

So, another random wedge fest. 2025 is nuts.

 

[N0mz]

Basically just a wind threat now. Still completely overperformed, easily would have warranted a mdt for tors

Significant damage on Brandon Copics stream. I see a concrete slab and debarked trees

hard to tell what this was but there's no debris on it.

While it is fun to parrot word of mouth damage reports the night of these nocturnal events, I'm not gonna trust anything I hear tonight and I'd advise y'all to do the same.

 

[joshoctober16]

something a bit odd is going on with the derecho were the bookend vortex part has a PDS severe thunderstorm warning for 80+ MPH winds

its interesting to note this is a HUGE rotating area of EF0 winds , its going to be odd to call this a straight line wind or a tornado , as its clearly spinning, yet its way too big to be a tornado.
