Today’s Video:
Good Monday morning everyone! A weak disturbance is pushing through the Western Dakotas and will push to the E/ESE throughout the morning hours and begin to weaken:
A few clusters of thunderstorms likely develop overnight in Northern ND and Northern SD. These storms likely maintain throughout the night and begin to weaken into the morning. The WRF NSSL seems to have a good handle on these clusters – though it may be a bit too far north with the northern-most cluster.
A few scattered storms could persist into the Eastern Dakotas and Minnesota into tomorrow morning, but the main threat for rain will be in the Western Dakotas overnight. Here’s a look at total rainfall from these clusters:
Hot temperatures over the next few days before a front starts to work in overnight tomorrow into Wednesday/Thursday:
Low temperatures over the next 4 days will remain very warm ahead of the front with some areas not dropping below the mid-upper 70s:
The initial front will push in NW ND late tomorrow and provide a damaging wind threat. These storms could survive through far Northern ND and NW Minnesota into Wednesday morning.
This front will allow for re-development Wednesday and additional severe weather risks for the northern two-thirds of Minnesota. Wind will again be the primary threat, but additional risks for hail and a few tornadoes are also possible. Note, the front slowly sags south Thursday and Friday bringing rain risks for Southern portions of the region :
