Overview

A few weak thunderstorms developed near Lake Mille Lacs the evening of the 26th ahead of a cold front. While the overall threat of severe storms was low, one of the storms did produce a waterspout over Farm Island Lake that did produce damage along the shore. This storm produced additional funnel clouds, but no other waterspouts or tornadoes were reported.
