SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Damaging winds, hail, and heavy rain all made an impact across parts of southeastern KELOLAND yesterday. Meteorologist Brian Karstens shows us the reports.

June is typically a busy month of severe weather in KELOLAND. And it only took 2 days into the new month to find ourselves dealing with the first taste of what will likely be more storms ahead.

Just after 3 pm, storms started to fire south of Sioux Falls. This is what it looked like from my vantage point just north of Canton.

With 90-degree heat and a strong cold front approaching from the west, the clash of the air masses resulted in a number of severe thunderstorms.

One of the storms near Hospers, Iowa, produced very strong winds, enough to create a trail of debris from a hog barn facility on Highway 60.

Other storms produced a swath of hail, damaging winds, and over 2 inches of rain between Vermillion and Elk Point.

A 3D scan of the storm using our VIPIR system shows large hail in the purple and black colors suspended in the cloud before falling to the ground between 5 pm and 6 pm. The strong heating of the day helped support those strong updrafts needed to produce the hail.

While we may be done with the storms for now, it’s June and it won’t be long before more severe weather arrives. Fortunately for us, that won’t be happening for most of us the rest of this week
