Overview
|
Thunderstorms originating in Montana moved into the western Dakotas while organizing into a squall line and producing winds up to 70 mph. Over time, this squall line began to bow out and generated a concentrated corridor of 80 to 100+ mph straight-line wind gusts over portions of west central to central South Dakota. |
