Rainfall Totals: North Dakota Got Drenched Again
Our wet spring has continued into the early summer so far.
Much of the state saw 1/2 of an inch to nearly 3 inches of rain. Severe thunderstorms developed over western North Dakota Thursday evening and continued to move across the state dropping heavy rain, especially if you got under the right supercell thunderstorm. Unfortunately, some areas in western North Dakota also saw large hail with damaging winds.
Much of the country has been seeing scorching temperatures so far this summer but "hot" days have been few and far between so far in North Dakota.
In fact, we are expecting a pretty cool summer weekend with high temperatures in the upper 60s on Saturday and mid-70s on Sunday.
The long-range forecast for the 4th of July week shows rain chances both on Monday and on Thursday the 4th as well. This could dampen your fireworks activities.
Our temperatures are expected to remain mostly seasonal through the next week with highs in the 70s and low 80s.
