The wider storm

Monsoonal moisture was drawn into northeast Montana which led to the formation of evening thunderstorms. Due to a dry layer along the surface, strong downbursts were able to form below the thunderstorms leading to strong to severe wind gusts.

Began near Nd Stateline Hwy 2 Dot (48.1400, -104.0500).
