Update: Enhanced Risk Takes Shape Over North Dakota After Morning Warnings

We've been tracking the storms firing up across North Dakota and Texas this morning with active severe thunderstorm warnings. Now, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has formalized the outlook, issuing an Enhanced Risk for North Dakota today, Sunday, June 7, along with a Slight Risk for South Dakota. This marks an escalation as the setup strengthens.

An Enhanced Risk from the SPC means scattered severe thunderstorms are expected, capable of producing significant hazards like very large hail (up to tennis ball size), damaging wind gusts over 70 mph, and a couple of tornadoes. South Dakota's Slight Risk points to more isolated storms with similar—but less widespread—potential for large hail, strong winds, and an isolated tornado.

Looking ahead, a Slight Risk covers Wyoming on Monday, June 8, with another Enhanced Risk returning to North Dakota and Slight Risk to South Dakota by Tuesday, June 9. A volatile pattern persists across the Northern Plains.

If you're in these areas, stay tuned to your local National Weather Service office for the latest warnings and have a severe weather safety plan ready—know where to shelter during hail, high winds, or tornadoes.
