UPDATE: North Dakota Severe Weather Potential For Friday

Much of the state of North Dakota is in the bullseye for potential severe weather for today, Friday, June 27th.

Many of the same storm chasers from last Friday are back in the state of North Dakota for today's potential outbreak of severe weather.

Take a look at the latest map from the Storm Prediction Center of the National Weather Service.

Most of the state of North Dakota is in a Level 2 for impactful severe weather today.

Of course, today will mark the one-week anniversary, which some weather officials are saying was a once-in-a-lifetime storm. North Dakota saw numerous tornadoes, straight-line winds that reached the status of a category three hurricane, and four people lost their lives.

The good news for today is that the potential for severe weather has dropped a bit to 40 percent. The fog we are experiencing right now (we are currently in a dense fog advisory until 10 am) could delay the development of thunderstorms across the state and the severe potential.

What are the potential impacts of this severe weather event?

Here's what the National Weather Service in Bismarck is saying for potential impacts.

According to the National Weather Service, we have a scattered chance for strong to severe thunderstorms.

Expected hazards include:

Hail up to the size of tennis balls, damaging winds as high as 70 miles per hour, and a tornado or two are possible.

We will continue to monitor this potential severe weather outbreak and keep you informed on air with our meteorologists from Severe Studios.
