What happened
The episode as NWS FGF wrote it up.
Despite the fact there was very little surface forcing, severe thunderstorms fired up across northeast North Dakota and northwest Minnesota on the evening of the 24th. A weak surface trough did extend from near Bismarck (ND) into the extreme northwest corner of Minnesota. Most of the thunderstorm activity was diurnally driven and associated with good upper jet support. Therefore most of the thunderstorms flared up in the very late afternoon and diminished around sunset.
What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Grand Forks, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 24, 2:26 PM CST, 3 hours 34 minutes earlier.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND 326 PM CDT SUN JUL 24 2011 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGE CONCERNS NEAR-TERM THUNDERSTORMS...SOME OF WHICH MAY BE SEVERE. GFS/NAM/ECMWF IN GOOD AGREEMENT AND WILL USE A MODEL BLEND FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. LATEST HRRR AND SPC 4 KM WRF SEEM TO HAVE A REASONABLE HANDLE ON CURRENT CONVECTION... SO WILL LEAN TOWARDS THEIR OUTPUT IN THE NEAR-TERM. ENHANCED CU FIELD AND WIDELY SCATTERED STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG A DICKINSON TO CARRINGTON LINE...COINCIDENT WITH STRONGEST LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE FLUX CONVERGENCE. SPC MESOANALYSIS SHOWS AN UNCAPPED ATMOSPHERE WITH 2000 TO 3000 J/KG OF SURFACE BASED CAPE AND 0 TO 6 KM BULK SHEAR IN THE 50 TO 60 KT RANGE WITH THESE STORMS. HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS SUGGEST THIS LINE WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED UNTIL 03 UTC TONIGHT WITH THE PRIMARY THREATS BEING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND...ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT GIVEN FAVORABLE DIRECTIONAL SHEAR PROFILES. BEST UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR ADDITIONAL STORM DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT IS ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER IN AREA OF ENCHAINED CU. UPPER JET ACROSS SOUTHWEST ONTARIO IS IN EXCESS OF 90 KTS AND IF RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF THIS FEATURE CAN INTERACT WITH LOW-MID LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND HIGHER MOISTURE...MAY SEE ADDITIONAL STORMS DEVELOP ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST ND AND NORTHWEST MN. WILL MONITOR THE SITUATION. STORMS SHOULD DISSIPATE WITH CLEARING SKIES AFTER 06 UTC TONIGHT AND WITH LIGHT WINDS...MORNING LOWS SHOULD DROP INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. MONDAY LOOKS TO BE DRY AND WARMER WITH HIGHS INTO THE LOWER 80S AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REASSERTS ITSELF ACROSS THE REGION. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. A STRONG SHORT- WAVE WILL EXIT THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN MODELS WITH RESPECT TO MESOSCALE DETAILS. HOWEVER...THE OVERALL SET-UP APPEARS SIMILAR TO THAT OF LAST SATURDAY MORNING/S MCS/BOW ECHO AS A 40 TO 50 KT LOW-LEVEL JET INTERACTS WITH SEVERAL THOUSAND JOULES OF CAPE AND AROUND 60 KTS OF BULK SHEAR. STAY TUNED...BUT TUESDAY COULD BE QUITE ACTIVE. LINGERING SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY BEHIND THE DEPARTING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX FROM TUESDAY... BUT MOST AREAS SHOULD REMAIN DRY FOR A MORE TRANQUIL WEATHER DAY. .LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MODELS INITIALIZED WELL THIS RUN AND REMAIN IN GENERAL AGREEMENT SO WENT WITH A BLENDED SOLN FOR THIS PACKAGE. A FAIRLY BROAD RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE AREA WITH SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. HOWEVER...EXPECT TO SEE A FEW WEAK SHORT WAVES CROSS THE AREA BRINGING CHANCES FOR -SHRA/-TSRA. OTHERWISE...THE OVERALL PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO STAY TRANQUIL WITH TEMPS REMAINING NEAR SEASONAL NORMS. && .AVIATION... CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN VFR WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SOME ISOLATED THUNDER THIS AFTERNOON AT SITES WEST OF THE RED RIVER...BUT NOT ENOUGH TO INCLUDE IN TAFS ATTM. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
