Baseball size hail fell in a wide area from Davidson, Saskatchewan to Regina, Saskatchewan. A downburst caused severe tree damage in downtown Regina. At 8:19, the first tornado touched down near Moose Jaw, causing only minor damage. A few other tornadoes touched down in southern Saskatchewan, including an EF3 that killed 3 people. The storms reached northern Montana at around 9:00 AM, and the NWS issued a widespread severe thunderstorm watch from Montana to South Dakota. Tornadoes began touching down at around 9:45 AM, and at 10:17, the first violent tornado of the outbreak touched down.
