Welcome to the Storm Desk Report
Severe thunderstorms are approaching the ND state line, and will be moving through the southwest part of the state over the next few hours. With these storms initially, large hail and tornadoes will be the primary threat. However, if/when storms become more of a line, the main hazard will be wind gusts up to 80 mph, potentially even higher.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for parts of southwest and south-central North Dakota until 10 PM CDT / 9 PM MDT. Have multiple ways to receive warnings and know where to take shelter!
Numerous severe thunderstorms are possible today. All threats are on the table with hail as large as tennis balls, damaging winds as high as 80 mph, and a few tornadoes possible. A strong tornado or two is possible especially along and near the I94 corridor from Bismarck to Fargo.
With increased tornado potential late this afternoon through the evening, especially in the Bismarck to Fargo corridor, take some time to plan where you would take shelter. Here are some safety tips specifically for people in mobile homes and apartment buildings. If you have any questions, let us know in the comments or send us a message!
