A short wave approached western North Dakota in the mid to late afternoon. This combined with modest instability and strong deep layer shear to produce severe thunderstorms. Initial storms produced large hail over far southwest North Dakota, with a gradual shift towards strong winds as the storms moved east into an environment with a drier lower atmosphere.
