Overview
|
A strong storm system moving across the northern High Plains started to approach western North Dakota late Sunday night (June 15, 2025). A Severe Thunderstorm Watch was issued at 9:55 PM MDT / 10:55 PM CDT as a cluster of severe storms started to move in from eastern Montana. A couple of initial storms produced severe hail across far northwest North Dakota up to half dollar size, but the most significant severe weather came in the form of damaging winds across southwest North Dakota early Monday morning (June 16, 2025). An NDAWN station located 1 mile west northwest of Hettinger (Adams County) reported a 94 mph wind gust and another site recorded a 92 mph gust 2 miles north of Bentley in Hettinger County. Significant straight line wind damage was also reported as the storms moved quickly across the southwest and south central through the early morning hours. Several other gusts ranging from 59 mph to 74 mph were recorded as storms moved further east. Finally, widespread rainfall amounts ranging from an inch to just over 3 inches were reported as the storm complex moved through. |
