The wider storm

Some mid and high level monsoonal moisture moving in from the south and weak shortwave approaching the area triggered some high based convection. With a very large dew point depression, some of the showers and thundertorms produced very strong winds as the thunderstorms collapsed. At the Lander Airport, a collapsing high based thunderstorm produced a wind gust of 63 mph. Another collapsing thunderstorm produced a 59 mph wind gust at the Worland airport.

Began near (wrl)worland Muni Ar (43.9700, -107.9500).
