The wider storm

As a mid-level wave moved out of Nebraska toward southeast South Dakota during the overnight, convective clusters blossomed near and ahead of a frontal boundary with MUCAPE from 2000-3000 J/kg and effective shear of up to 50 knots. Initial, more isolated storms produced hail across northeast Nebraska up to golf ball size, but quickly evolved into bowing segments with damaging wind gusts mainly from 60 to 90 mph across northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota.

Began near Harris (43.4157, -95.4487).
