July Month-to-date precipitation totals across the region:
Looking at temperatures, July is running warmer than normal:
Weather is beautiful today, continuing through Wednesday. Later Wednesday afternoon into Thursday we’ll begin to work in isolated storms across the western Dakotas as a southerly flow returns.
We anticipate tomorrow afternoon into the overnight for showers and storms to increase (still scattered, though) on a more wider scale across the Dakotas from west to east…a few may be locally strong to severe in the form of gusty/damaging winds and large hail being the main threats across the western Dakotas. As this wave pushes further east towards the eastern Dakotas and Minnesota Thursday morning we run into more stable air and less coverage:
Total precipitation guidance over the next 60 hours is below…iso 0.25-0.75″ will be possible where we see storms fire across the Dakotas, with localized 1.0-2.0″ in a few spots if storms can reach the strong to severe criteria west:
We think storms can re-fire up later Thursday into the overnight especially across NE SD, SE ND into especially the northern half of MN…where we see an risk for strong to severe storms:
