The wider storm

Thunderstorms erupted within a very moist and unstable environment across central South Dakota during the afternoon of July 29 in response to an approaching upper level short-wave from Colorado. These thunderstorms quickly grew upscale into a line, producing 55 to 75 mph wind gusts across southeast South Dakota, resulting in isolated tree damage. In addition, prolonged heavy rain resulted in some localized flash flooding across northwest Iowa.

Began near Dolton (43.4900, -97.3100).
