In the advance of a strong cold front, a very
tropical air mass was in place across the
region. Heavy rain producing showers and
storms the night of July 4th had resulted in a
saturated or nearly saturated ground to start
the day on the 5th. Additional heavy rain
producing showers and storms during the night
of the 5th is all that was needed for some
flash flooding to occur in areas. Also,
because of saturated root systems, 35 to 40
mph wind gusts were all that were needed to
down some trees.

Dry thunderstorms developed in southwest North
Dakota in the mid afternoon of July 12th,
spreading into the south central part of the
state by evening. Record-breaking heat along
with strong southeast winds, low relative
humidity values, and drought conditions set
the stage for extensive lightning caused fire
activity. Within a few hours on the evening of
the 12th over 50 wildfires were reported. The
largest of these fires burned nearly 1,200
acres of pasture and grassland to the south of
Almont, ND, in Morton County, beginning at 2130
CST on the 12th, and continuing until 2100 CST
on the 13th. The fire threatened several
structures before being extinguished.

A National Weather Service storm damage survey
was completed 0715 CST to 1500 CST the day
following the event, July 13, 2006. NWS
meteorologist was accompanied by the Mclean
County Emergency Manager. Damage was extensive
and severe. Nearly every building in the town
of about 80 people was damaged. The degree of
damage varied with heavier damage to structures
and trees on the west side of the town,
including to a school built in 1916 and used
until the mid 1960s. Just across highway 83, on
the west side of town, an empty railroad coal
car was off the tracks and on its side. The
structural and tree damage pattern, coupled
with comments from eye witnesses and 88D RADAR
data, led to the determination that the event
was a wet microburst with wind speeds in excess
of 100 mph. Storms were multicellular in
structure. Witnesses described a shelf cloud
approaching, followed by the high wind, and
then very heavy rain. There were two very minor
injuries and no fatalities. The two injuries
were in a camper that was rolled by the wind
and destroyed. Coleharbor covers an area about
1/4 mile by 1/4 mile. Damage covered an area
just under 4 km or just under 2 1/2 miles on a
side. Outside of town the damage included a
barn, many trees, and moved straw or hay bales.
The ND Department of Transportation had weather
instrumentation along highway 83 on the west
side of Coleharbor. The Environmental Sensor
Station had an engineered wind resistance of
120 mph and was lying on the ground following
the storm. See photo. See entry for Mclean

A fire began in the early afternoon of the
18th to the west of Fort Yates after smoldering
for several hours following a morning lightning
strike. The wildfire quickly grew out of
control as a result of low relative humidity
values, south winds that gusted to 40 mph, and
ongoing drought conditions. The fire consumed
approximately 10,500 acres of pasture and
grassland, much of it in rough terrain that
made firefighting efforts difficult. Nine
homes were evacuated the afternoon of the 18th.
The North Dakota National Gaurd's helicopters
assisted firefighting efforts by dropping water
on the fire, which was not declared 100 percent
contained until the evening of the 21st.

Blacktail Dam, and was around 1 mile wide as
it extended to approximately 2 miles north of
Ray. The hail was accompanied by damaging
thunderstorm winds in excess of 60 mph, which
broke out windows and resulted in 100 percent
crop loss in the hardest hit areas.
Quarter size hail was also reported in the town
of Ray, and was also accompanied by strong
thunderstorm winds. This was part of the same
storm which resulted in damage to the west and

across portions of northeast and east central
North Dakota on July 25th.

The dry trend started in May, but
became much worse by June and July.
During the months of May through July,
the Fargo airport reported 5.56 inches
of rain and the Grand Forks airport
reported 4.07 inches. In contrast, the
3 month normal for rainfall in both
areas ranged from 8 to 9 inches. In
Fargo between June 24th and July 24th
(29 consecutive days), no measurable
rain fell. Temperatures generally were
above normal for May, June, and July,
but July was definitely the warmest
month. At Fargo, there were 11 days
during July with high temperatures
above 90 degrees and 2 days above 100
degrees. There was also a period of 6
days in a row with high temperatures
above 90 degrees (July 11-16). The
highest July temperature for Fargo
occurred on the 30th, at 102 degrees,
which set a new record high. At Grand
Forks, there were 10 days in July with
high temperatures above 90 degrees. The
highest July temperature for Grand
Forks occurred on the 16th, at 98
degrees. 100 degree temperatures are
fairly rare in northeast and east
central North Dakota (the last 100
degree day in Fargo was June 17, 1995),
but several locations in the drought
area did reach the century mark. On
July 15th, Fargo and Leonard hit a high
of 101 degrees. On July 30th, Fargo hit
102 degrees, Galesburg hit 101 degrees,
and Leonard hit 100 degrees.
Drought generally impacts agriculture,
water supply and quality, and
utilities. The agricultural impact is
hard to quantify dollar-wise. However,
yields for most crops were down, but
also were widely variable. Burning
restrictions went into effect, but
numerous grass fires were still
reported. Campfires and fireworks were
also banned in many counties. The major
cities that border the Red River saw
near record water consumption in July.
In conjunction with the hot, dry
weather and near record water
consumption, river flows also dropped
way off. When the Red River crested in
Fargo on April 5th, 2006, the peak flow
was around 19,800 cfs. By mid July, the
Red River flow in Fargo dropped as low
as 330 cfs. One historical low for the
Red River at Fargo was 63 cfs, measured
back in July 1988. Emergency haying and
grazing on Conservation Reserve Program
acres opened on July 14th for the
entire state.

Dry thunderstorms developed in southwest North
Dakota in the mid afternoon of July 12th,
spreading into the south central part of the
state by evening. Record-breaking heat along
with strong southeast winds, low relative
humidity values, and drought conditions set
the stage for extensive lightning caused fire
activity. Within a few hours on the evening of
the 12th over 50 wildfires were reported. The
largest of these fires burned nearly 1,200
acres of pasture and grassland to the south of
Almont, ND, in Morton County, beginning at 2130
CST on the 12th, and continuing until 2100 CST
on the 13th. The fire threatened several

A National Weather Service storm damage survey
was completed 0715 CST to 1500 CST the day
following the event, July 13, 2006. NWS
meteorologist was accompanied by the Mclean
County Emergency Manager. Damage was extensive
and severe. Nearly every building in the town
of about 80 people was damaged. The degree of
damage varied with heavier damage to structures
and trees on the west side of the town,
including to a school built in 1916 and used
until the mid 1960s. Just across highway 83, on
the west side of town, an empty railroad coal
car was off the tracks and on its side. The
structural and tree damage pattern, coupled
with comments from eye witnesses and 88D RADAR
data, led to the determination that the event
was a wet microburst with wind speeds in excess
of 100 mph. Storms were multicellular in
structure. Witnesses described a shelf cloud
approaching, followed by the high wind, and
then very heavy rain. There were two very minor
injuries and no fatalities. The two injuries
were in a camper that was rolled by the wind
and destroyed. Coleharbor covers an area about
1/4 mile by 1/4 mile. Damage covered an area
just under 4 km or just under 2 1/2 miles on a
side. Outside of town the damage included a
barn, many trees, and moved straw or hay bales.
The ND Department of Transportation had weather
instrumentation along highway 83 on the west
side of Coleharbor. The Environmental Sensor
Station had an engineered wind resistance of
120 mph and was lying on the ground following
the storm. See photo. See entry for Mclean

A fire began in the early afternoon of the
18th to the west of Fort Yates after smoldering
for several hours following a morning lightning
strike. The wildfire quickly grew out of
control as a result of low relative humidity
values, south winds that gusted to 40 mph, and
ongoing drought conditions. The fire consumed
approximately 10,500 acres of pasture and
grassland, much of it in rough terrain that
made firefighting efforts difficult. Nine
homes were evacuated the afternoon of the 18th.
The North Dakota National Gaurd's helicopters
assisted firefighting efforts by dropping water
on the fire, which was not declared 100 percent
contained until the evening of the 21st.

The dry trend started in May, but
became much worse by June and July.
During the months of May through July,
the Fargo airport reported 5.56 inches
of rain and the Grand Forks airport
reported 4.07 inches. In contrast, the
3 month normal for rainfall in both
areas ranged from 8 to 9 inches. In
Fargo between June 24th and July 24th
(29 consecutive days), no measurable
rain fell. Temperatures generally were
above normal for May, June, and July,
but July was definitely the warmest
month. At Fargo, there were 11 days
during July with high temperatures
above 90 degrees and 2 days above 100
degrees. There was also a period of 6
days in a row with high temperatures
above 90 degrees (July 11-16). The
highest July temperature for Fargo
occurred on the 30th, at 102 degrees,
which set a new record high. At Grand
Forks, there were 10 days in July with
high temperatures above 90 degrees. The
highest July temperature for Grand
Forks occurred on the 16th, at 98
degrees. 100 degree temperatures are
fairly rare in northeast and east
central North Dakota (the last 100
degree day in Fargo was June 17, 1995),
but several locations in the drought
area did reach the century mark. On
July 15th, Fargo and Leonard hit a high
of 101 degrees. On July 30th, Fargo hit
102 degrees, Galesburg hit 101 degrees,
and Leonard hit 100 degrees.
Drought generally impacts agriculture,
water supply and quality, and
utilities. The agricultural impact is
hard to quantify dollar-wise. However,
yields for most crops were down, but
also were widely variable. Burning
restrictions went into effect, but
numerous grass fires were still
reported. Campfires and fireworks were
also banned in many counties. The major
cities that border the Red River saw
near record water consumption in July.
In conjunction with the hot, dry
weather and near record water
consumption, river flows also dropped
way off. When the Red River crested in
Fargo on April 5th, 2006, the peak flow
was around 19,800 cfs. By mid July, the
Red River flow in Fargo dropped as low
as 330 cfs. One historical low for the
Red River at Fargo was 63 cfs, measured
back in July 1988. Emergency haying and
grazing on Conservation Reserve Program
acres opened on July 14th for the
entire state.

Wildfire
Dry thunderstorms developed in southwest North
Dakota in the mid afternoon of July 12th,
spreading into the south central part of the
state by evening. Record-breaking heat along
with strong southeast winds, low relative
humidity values, and drought conditions set
the stage for extensive lightning caused fire
activity. Within a few hours on the evening of
the 12th over 50 wildfires were reported. The
largest of these fires burned nearly 1,200
acres of pasture and grassland to the south of
Almont, ND, in Morton County, beginning at 2130
CST on the 12th, and continuing until 2100 CST
on the 13th. The fire threatened several
structures before being extinguished.

A National Weather Service storm damage survey
was completed 0715 CST to 1500 CST the day
following the event, July 13, 2006. NWS
meteorologist was accompanied by the Mclean
County Emergency Manager. Damage was extensive
and severe. Nearly every building in the town
of about 80 people was damaged. The degree of
damage varied with heavier damage to structures
and trees on the west side of the town,
including to a school built in 1916 and used
until the mid 1960s. Just across highway 83, on
the west side of town, an empty railroad coal
car was off the tracks and on its side. The
structural and tree damage pattern, coupled
with comments from eye witnesses and 88D RADAR
data, led to the determination that the event
was a wet microburst with wind speeds in excess
of 100 mph. Storms were multicellular in
structure. Witnesses described a shelf cloud
approaching, followed by the high wind, and
then very heavy rain. There were two very minor
injuries and no fatalities. The two injuries
were in a camper that was rolled by the wind
and destroyed. Coleharbor covers an area about
1/4 mile by 1/4 mile. Damage covered an area
just under 4 km or just under 2 1/2 miles on a
side. Outside of town the damage included a
barn, many trees, and moved straw or hay bales.
The ND Department of Transportation had weather
instrumentation along highway 83 on the west
side of Coleharbor. The Environmental Sensor
Station had an engineered wind resistance of
120 mph and was lying on the ground following
the storm. See photo. See entry for Mclean

Wildfire
A fire began in the early afternoon of the
18th to the west of Fort Yates after smoldering
for several hours following a morning lightning
strike. The wildfire quickly grew out of
control as a result of low relative humidity
values, south winds that gusted to 40 mph, and
ongoing drought conditions. The fire consumed
approximately 10,500 acres of pasture and
grassland, much of it in rough terrain that
made firefighting efforts difficult. Nine
homes were evacuated the afternoon of the 18th.
The North Dakota National Gaurd's helicopters
assisted firefighting efforts by dropping water
on the fire, which was not declared 100 percent
contained until the evening of the 21st.

Blacktail Dam, and was around 1 mile wide as
it extended to approximately 2 miles north of
Ray. The hail was accompanied by damaging
thunderstorm winds in excess of 60 mph, which
broke out windows and resulted in 100 percent
crop loss in the hardest hit areas.
Quarter size hail was also reported in the town
of Ray, and was also accompanied by strong
thunderstorm winds. This was part of the same
storm which resulted in damage to the west and

Drought
Warmer than normal temperatures and a lack of
rain both contributed to a D2 drought
designation (per the U.S. Drought Monitor)
across portions of northeast and east central
North Dakota on July 25th.
NORTH DAKOTA, East
The dry trend started in May, but
became much worse by June and July.
During the months of May through July,
the Fargo airport reported 5.56 inches
of rain and the Grand Forks airport
reported 4.07 inches. In contrast, the
3 month normal for rainfall in both
areas ranged from 8 to 9 inches. In
Fargo between June 24th and July 24th
(29 consecutive days), no measurable
rain fell. Temperatures generally were
above normal for May, June, and July,
but July was definitely the warmest
month. At Fargo, there were 11 days
during July with high temperatures
above 90 degrees and 2 days above 100
degrees. There was also a period of 6
days in a row with high temperatures
above 90 degrees (July 11-16). The
highest July temperature for Fargo
occurred on the 30th, at 102 degrees,
which set a new record high. At Grand
Forks, there were 10 days in July with
high temperatures above 90 degrees. The
highest July temperature for Grand
Forks occurred on the 16th, at 98
degrees. 100 degree temperatures are
fairly rare in northeast and east
central North Dakota (the last 100
degree day in Fargo was June 17, 1995),
but several locations in the drought
area did reach the century mark. On
July 15th, Fargo and Leonard hit a high
of 101 degrees. On July 30th, Fargo hit
102 degrees, Galesburg hit 101 degrees,
and Leonard hit 100 degrees.
Drought generally impacts agriculture,
water supply and quality, and
utilities. The agricultural impact is
hard to quantify dollar-wise. However,
yields for most crops were down, but
also were widely variable. Burning
restrictions went into effect, but
numerous grass fires were still
reported. Campfires and fireworks were
also banned in many counties. The major
cities that border the Red River saw
near record water consumption in July.
In conjunction with the hot, dry
weather and near record water
consumption, river flows also dropped
way off. When the Red River crested in
Fargo on April 5th, 2006, the peak flow
was around 19,800 cfs. By mid July, the
Red River flow in Fargo dropped as low
as 330 cfs. One historical low for the
Red River at Fargo was 63 cfs, measured
back in July 1988. Emergency haying and
grazing on Conservation Reserve Program
acres opened on July 14th for the
entire state.
