Strong Storm Potential This Evening, Tonight, and Tomorrow
Another round of potential storms will occur from Tuesday evening into Wednesday. A slight risk (level 2 of 5) and marginal risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather have been issued for portions of North Dakota, Minnesota, and South Dakota. Although storms do not look overly likely through this evening in Eastern North Dakota or Minnesota or tonight, it will be possible for a few storms to develop. If storms can develop they would do so in an environment that would support strong to severe storms with the main concern being hail and wind. In areas of North and Central North Dakota (within the yellow slight risk area), a couple of storms will be a little more likely this evening. Those storms would hold a potential for an isolated tornado, hail, and strong wind gusts.
