Areas of flash flooding will be possible through Thursday along the eastern and central Gulf Coast. Severe thunderstorms will develop and move along a cold front crossing the Upper Midwest Monday, and through the Ohio Valley/Mid-Atlantic on Tuesday. Read More >
Overview
|
The afternoon of Sunday, July 30th began with a potent supercell that developed over the Black Hills, dropping baseball sized hail at Pactola Reservoir. As it moved southeastward, over 3 inch hail fell along the Flume Trail. The storm quickly dissipated as it moved off the Black Hills. More severe thunderstorms developed across northeastern WY later in the afternoon and evening, resulting in golf ball sized hail and up to 80 mph winds. The storms expanded into western SD during the evening. |
 Here is the 24-hour GLM lightning map from 6 am MDT (7/30) to 6 am MDT (7/31). |
