Two clusters of eastward-moving strong to severe thunderstorms developed during the evening of the 29th. The first was associated with weak low pressure across south central South Dakota, and the second was triggered by a cold front across north central South Dakota, both in hot environments with daytime highs in the 90s. These storms produced 60 to 70 mph or greater wind gusts, including 68 mph six miles southwest of the Joe Creek Rec Area, and damaged trees and other property across the area. High non-thunderstorm winds developed across east central South Dakota during the evening as well, the highest measured being 63 mph four miles west of Bryant.
