June 28th took us to central North Dakota on a set up that didn’t look great. Sometimes nature loves to surprise and it certainly did this day! An updraft developed south of Bismarck and slowly drifted north. It was severe for golfball sized hail, but the best part was the low precipitation supercell structure. Sculpted structure eventually drifted over a nice ripening canola field east of town and was just gorgeous. The storm weakened at sunset, but not before giving us a parting beautiful view! Surprise day, but oh so pretty! Enjoy the pics!
