A complex of thunderstorms developed during the evening across western South Dakota, moving east and becoming more organized as the low-level jet increased focus into south central and southeast South Dakota late at night. Deep-layer effective shear reached 35 to 45 knots with MUCAPE to 2000J/kg. 0-3km shear was 25 to 35 knots, largely normal to the orientation of the convective line. A large-scale bowing segment evolved quickly with a long track of damaging wind across southeast South Dakota
