Northern Plains Update: Severe Weather Expected Today!

Key Points: September 19, 2017

Synopsis: Good Tuesday morning. We are tracking some weak showers associated with a warm front moving through the Dakotas. This will lead to warm, humid air in place ahead of a cold front this afternoon setting the stage for severe weather in the Dakotas and western Minnesota this afternoon and evening. The biggest threats with these storms will be strong winds, large hail, torrential rains, and even a few tornadoes possible. Drier, cooler air returns for Wednesday and Thursday, but another strong cold front will bring rainfall chances especially west and north through the weekend. Have a blessed day!
