The reports by the National Weather Service suggested that the sky turned due to the type of wind storm we call ‘derecho’ that comes with rapidly moving showers and thunderstorms.

Peter Rogers, a meteorologist with the Weather Service’s office in Sioux Falls told New York Times, “I think it caught a lot of people’s attention because the sky did have that very unique green color to it”. He further explained that though green skies are an indication of strong hail, though for this particular storm we witnessed in South Dakota that was not the case.
