A Busy Saturday

Storms fired up pretty early today as there were many severe thunderstorm warnings across south central South Dakota by 11 am and then tornado warnings were issued at about noon and continued right through 4pm. The good news is that there were no reports of tornadoes although there were several funnels spotted. However, lots of hail fell in many spots across nearly a dozen South Dakota counties. Some of our viewers sent in some pictures of not only the storms but of some of the remnants.

Here is a couple shots of the storm that made its way just north of Sioux Falls. These were taken in northern Minnehaha county. Notice the lowering of the clouds on the first picture called a shelf cloud. And the bee hive like structure on the second picture which is very typical of a supercell thunderstorm.

This hail fell in Aurora Center and shattered several windows in this house and destroyed a vehicle in the driveway.We are expecting more storms on Sunday afternoon and evening but the good news is that severe weather should be very minimal.
