The Bismarck radar (KBIS), 148 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 07:27 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

Open the radar archive at this moment

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

NCEI Storm Data entries that began inside the alert's area while it was in force. Before 2003 the local storm report archive is thin, so this is the record of what happened rather than what was phoned in.

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

250 PM CDT SUN JUN 9 2002

PROBLEM FOR THE DAY WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE SURFACE LOW NOW IN
CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA AND THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE NORTHWEST.

HEAVY RAIN DURING THE NIGHT CAUSED SOME FLOODING IN THE SOUTHWEST
AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE WHERE TODAYS FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE
INDICATES 1 TO 2 INCHES IN A 6 HOUR PERIOD WILL LIKELY RESULT IN
FLASH FLOODING. EXPECTING ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS TONIGHT AND WILL
LIKELY ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THESE COUNTIES.

SURFACE LOW OVER CENTRAL ND/SD BORDER BRINGING DEWPOINTS UP INTO THE
60S OVER EASTERN ND. LOTS OF POTENTIAL ENERGY AT LOW LEVELS FOR
SEVERE STORMS FROM MONTANA ACROSS THE DAKOTAS...BUT MID LEVEL
CAPPING IS PREVENTING ANY KIND OF DEVELOPMENT. WILL HAVE TO WAIT
UNTIL EVENING OVER MONTANA AND FAR WESTERN ND FOR UPPER LEVEL ENERGY
ON THE STRENGTH OF A JET MOVING NORTHWARD ON EAST SIDE OF LARGE
UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE NWRN US. LIKE A REPEAT PERFORMANCE FROM
YESTERDAY...WITH STORMS BEGINNING IN THE WEST DURING THE
EVENING...THEN PROGRESSING EASTWARD OVERNIGHT INTO CENTRAL ND. BY
THE TIME THE ENERGY REACHES CENTRAL ND...THE BEST LIFTING IS OVER
NRN ND.

UPPER LOW IS STILL OVER ERN MT/SASKATCHEWAN AND JET WITH DRY SLOT
MOVES INTO SOUTH CENTRAL ND MONDAY AFTERNOON. THIS UPPER LOW MOVES
GRADUALLY EASTWARD ALONG THE NORTHERN BORDER OF ND...FINALLY MOVING
TO LAKE SUPERIOR BY THURSDAY MORNING. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPS ON THE
COOL SIDE AND KEEP A CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. A SLOW WARMUP AFTER THAT WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING
INTO THE ROCKIES...ALTHOUGH ND REMAINS IN NWLY FLOW.

.BIS...FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 7 AM MONDAY MORNING FOR MCLEAN...MERCER
       OLIVER...DUNN...BILLINGS...GOLDEN VALLEY COUNTIES.
