The wider storm

A line of thunderstorms developed on the nose of a low-level jet, just in advance of a cold front across the central Dakotas. Deep-layer shear of 30-40 knots was largely parallel to the boundary and storms rapidly became linear with spotty damaging wind.

Began near Alexandria (43.6700, -97.7100).
