The storm brings impressive rainfall totals for parts of BisMan

0

According to the National Weather Service, there was only a 20% chance of thunderstorms yesterday for Bismarck Mandan. In the end, it probably should have been 80% the reverse, as most of us in the Bismarck, Mandan and Lincoln areas saw not only rain but also destructive hail.

The Bismarck Mandan region entered a severe thunderstorm warning at 4:15 p.m. Thursday afternoon. That storm brought heavy rain to northeast Bismarck and dropped hailstones as big as tennis balls, as reported by the National Weather Service. Our studios in Mandan saw very little rain, but we had an awesome hail blast around 4:45am as hail the size of golf balls hit the Strip (including my truck).

Another severe thunderstorm warning was issued at 4:45 a.m. for southeast Burleigh and adjacent counties south of Bismarck Mandan, which also brought heavy rain and hail. Most of these storms affected rural areas, but unfortunately crop damage was reported due to hail.
