...A STRONG THUNDERSTORM WILL IMPACT SOUTHEASTERN GRAHAM COUNTY
THROUGH 300 PM CDT...

At 224 PM CDT, Doppler radar was tracking a strong thunderstorm
capable of producing a landspout over Palco, or 16 miles southeast of
Hill City, moving northeast at 60 mph.

HAZARD...Landspout tornadoes, wind gusts up to 40 mph, and half inch
         hail.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Minor damage to outdoor objects is possible. Gusty winds
         could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured
         objects.

This storm will remain over mainly rural areas of southeastern Graham
County.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building.

Landspout tornadoes can form with a developing thunderstorm before
rain, hail, and even thunder is observed. Landspout tornadoes are not
usually associated with a wall cloud and are often difficult to
detect with weather radar.
