Event narrative

Thunderstorm wind gusts up to 60 mph were measured at a Minnesota Road Weather Information System site near Dovray.

Wider weather episode

A very moist and unstable atmosphere was present in the wake of earlier day convection, as another stronger mid-level wave and associated frontal boundary pushed through southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota during the evening and early overnight hours. Widespread convection along the boundary later in the evening led to areas of damaging wind and excessive rainfall in east central South Dakota and southwest Minnesota.
