Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
What the National Weather Service wrote
Occasional quarter to ping pong ball size hail fell during heavy rainfall.
The wider storm
Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms developed late afternoon along a slow-moving frontal boundary. Even with fairly weak deep-layer shear, strong instability resulted in large hail. Drier air and advancing cold pools later in development produced spotty damaging winds. High moisture content and slowly progressing storms also produced some torrential rainfall with rates briefly from 3 to 5 inches per hour.
One particularly intense supercell developed near Vermillion, South Dakota and moved southeast through early evening, producing large hail, damaging wind, and heavy rainfall just over the Missouri River into northeast Nebraska before weakening.
Began near Ponca (42.5700, -96.7400).
