Well-known meteorologist and storm chaser Reed Timmer is in South Dakota as a July 28 storm system brings the possibility of high winds, and perhaps tornadoes, to the state.

Timmer — who starred in the Discovery Channel’s show “Storm Chasers” — has a significant following on various social media channels, including more than 1.4 million subscribers on Youtube, where he posted a video on July 27 of strobe lightning occurring south of Sioux Falls.
Timmer might get more content on July 28 as the NWS forecasts a “significant wind event” is likely in much of the state, including in Sioux Falls. The main concern is wind gusts that could reach 80 miles an hour or more, as well as potential for isolated tornadoes.
