Elevated Risk For Severe Weather In South-Central North Dakota
South-Central North Dakota is at an elevated risk for severe weather this afternoon and this evening.
We have been put at a Level 2 risk for severe thunderstorms. They are expected to develop after 4 pm this afternoon, Monday, July 29th. The storms are expected to start out in western North Dakota and move east across the state.
With the combination of daytime heating (highs are expected to be at 90 or above), south-central North Dakota could be in the bullseye for the worst of the severe weather.
This comes after a pretty dry period over both Burleigh and Morton Counties.
Neither of the counties has seen any significant rain since the 4th of July holiday weekend. Our green vegetation has gone from green to yellow and brown.
Wildfires have also become a problem in recent weeks in parts of central and southwest North Dakota because of the dry conditions.
The main threat for today in the Level 2 area is strong damaging winds up to 70 miles per hour and 2-inch-diameter hail.
As you can see, a good share of our listening area will be affected in south-central, southeast, and southwest North Dakota.
In addition to today's severe weather event, another round of strong to severe thunderstorms is possible both Tuesday and Wednesday during the afternoon and evening.
Hopefully, we will get some beneficial rain to elevate any potential fire dangers that could start to develop over the state because of dry conditions without the severe weather.
