April 12, 2022 Storm Summary

Overview

On the afternoon of 12 April 2022, convection began across south central South Dakota. Storms quickly became severe, and then weakened as they approached the eastern boarder of South Dakota. They re-intensified as they crossed into Minnesota, and began to form in northwestern Iowa. Several storms produced large hail up to baseball size. Strong winds were common with these storms as well.
