Quality moisture continued to be in short supply on the Plains, except down towards OK, where there was a slight risk. \u00a0That area was forecast to get some severe wind and hail on this day, with the activity heading to the southeast. \u00a0I had my eye on North Dakota for July 4th, so today we would play the marginal risk in Nebraska and southern South Dakota. \u00a0The poor low-level moisture resulted in some high-based junky storms in the vicinity of Wounded Knee, and then east of there a little towards Vetal (between Martin and Mission). \u00a0It was a long day to watch storms struggle, but fortunately we were provided a chance at some CG lightning photography around sunset, and I got lucky on one to the south.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
