Scattered thunderstorms developed across south-central South Dakota in the late afternoon of August 2nd in response to an eastward advancing short-wave aloft. Weak deep-layer shear and skinny CAPE profiles limited the overall severe threat, but a very dry sub-cloud layer allowed for stronger wind gusts aloft to reach the surface across portions of southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota during the evening hours. Observed wind gusts ranged from 60 to 80 mph with occasional reports of trees down and isolated structural damage.
