Wind, Hail & Even Tornadoes Possible For North Dakota Tuesday

Severe Weather Outbreak

Our first widespread severe weather outbreak is possible for much of North Dakota this afternoon, and especially this evening. Here is the latest map from the Storm Prediction Center and the National Weather Service.

Level 2 Severe Weather Threat

The Storm Prediction Center has us under a slight risk of severe weather for much of North Dakota, including all of central and southwest North Dakota. Storms will begin firing up in western North Dakota ahead of an approaching cold front in Wyoming, then spread eastward.

The Main Threat for These Storms

It's going to be a mixed bag, with large hail, severe wind gusts up to 70 miles per hour, and potentially a couple of tornadoes are expected this afternoon and evening across much of North Dakota. The potential is there for several supercell thunderstorms to develop, which again is something we have not seen yet this year. June is typically one of our stormiest times of year in North Dakota. This was the case last June, when we had several severe thunderstorm outbreaks that produced numerous tornadoes.

Be Weather Aware This Afternoon and Evening

We will continue to monitor the situation on-air with our meteorologists from Severe Weather Studios, and online right here.
