Observed rainfall over the past 24 hours…focused mainly from Grand Forks to St. Cloud to Minneapolis and points southeast:
We highlighted a few areas where some patchy dense fog is possible late tonight through daybreak Thursday morning:
Other than a couple isolated pop-up showers across far eastern South Dakota and north-central Minnesota, pretty much a quiet stretch of weather today. We are watching for a broken line of showers and storms to work northwest to southeast across the area late tonight into Thursday, make sure to check out the video above for an hour-by-hour breakdown of those. We highlighted an area that we favor across SE North Dakota to central and eastern South Dakota and far SW Minnesota for strong to severe storms Thursday afternoon to even where all modes of severe area possible:
Rainfall totals through early Friday morning are below…most of this coming late tonight into the day on Thursday from northwest to southeast across the forecast area. A 0.25-0.75″ will be the general risk where theses showers and storms pop, with locally 1-2″ (even localized 1.5-3″ possible) where the strong to severe storm risk is higher across the eastern Dakotas to western Minnesota:
Here’s a snapshot of a few areas we are anticipating additional shower and storm coverage Friday through Sunday morning…these risks right now look to be more in the form of broken clusters, meaning some locations get a quick 0.25-0.75″ (locally 1.o-1.5″), while others not far away see little to no rainfall in this period:
