FSD – CIRA WRF Simulated imagery off on location but good on timing

After seeing the CIRA sim imagery do very well in ABQ, we switched to FSD where the sim imagery indicated deep convection developing between 2100-2200z, but the location of the convection was about 130mi ese of where convection developed in Tripp and Lyman counties in central SD.
