| Episode Narrative | Severe thunderstorms developed near a surface low pressure area and dryline in central South Dakota during the late afternoon and evening hours. Very large hail up to three inches in diameter, damaging winds to seventy mph, along with a couple tornadoes occurred in central and north central South Dakota. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado started on the west side of a ranch and threw a 4-wheeler into a barn. There was additional damage to trees and the roof of a barn at the ranch. The tornado moved across an open field and damaged a calf shed. It then crossed 180th street and 331st avenue and moved through a corn field. Many corn stalks were flattened in a 50 yard wide path before entering an open field and then crossing a hay field destroying a hay bale before dissipating. |
