The wider storm

A variety of weak short-wave troughs moving through southwest flow aloft combined with a slow moving frontal boundary to produced thunderstorms over parts of western and central North Dakota. The thunderstorms were very short-lived, but were able to produce brief severe wind gusts over southwest North Dakota due to a very dry lower atmosphere. The strongest reported wind gust of 77 mph occurred at the Hettinger Airport in Adams County.

Began near New Leipzig (46.5000, -101.9900).
