2025-06-16 · near Tyndall, Bon Homme, South Dakota

Event narrative

Although some hail was as big as a golf ball, most stones were dime to quarter size.

Wider weather episode

Thunderstorms developed along a stout outflow boundary, which dropped southward into the area through the day. The boundary served as a gradient in shear and instability, and focused initial development during the afternoon hours, which featured hail up to golf ball size. Storms evolved to produce a couple tracks of damaging wind heading southeast across northeast Nebraska and northwest Iowa into very early evening.
