Overview

During the late afternoon of June 28, 2025 several thunderstorms developed across the Dakotas and western Minnesota. These storms produced a few tornadoes, heavy rain, and some wind damage. Areas in far western Yellow Medicine and Lac Qui Parle counties had flooded and washed out roads. 

As the storms approached central and eastern Minnesota, they formed into a line. This line of storms had several circulations along the leading edge, and produced several tornadoes in Carver County, as well a sporadic wind damage cross much of the western Twin Cities metro area.
