Good Friday morning everyone!
Some light rain showers are pushing through the North Dakota and these likely continue into mid-day with scattered rain chances possible throughout the day:
We’ll deal with some scattered mist and drizzle throughout the day in Southern South Dakota but stronger storms won’t develop until the overnight hours in E. ND and into Northern Minnesota. A few strong to severe storms cannot be ruled out with hail the main threat. These generally begin developing around midnight and slowly push to the ENE and start to weaken tomorrow morning:
We’ll likely see a bit of break tomorrow before more storms could develop tomorrow afternoon and evening that will generally impact the same locations as the boundary sets up shop over the area, however, eventually these storms will push north with the warm front out of the area overnight on Saturday:
