Severe Risk Tonight

Severe Storm Risk Wednesday

Heat Safety

Severe storms are expected tonight into Wednesday morning across the region. A squall line is expected to move east out of western ND with widespread severe wind gusts of 60 to 75 mph with localized 80+ mph. Hail as large as golf balls and a tornado is also possible. With this event largely occurring overnight, make sure to have multiple ways to receive warnings. Also, plan now and know where to go if a warning is issued for your area.

After any lingering overnight severe thunderstorms weaken early Wednesday morning another round of isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms may develop along and east of the Red River Valley in eastern ND and northwest/west central MN Wednesday afternoon. Threats include hail toe the size of golf balls, wind gusts to 75 mph and the possibility for tornadoes.

Warm temperatures will combine with humidity the next several days to bring heat related impacts to those working outdoors, particularly when in direct sunlight. Remember to take frequent breaks, drink plenty of water and find AC if you need. This warm spell will last into midweek.
