Update: Dakotas and SC Slight Risks Hold Firm Today as Minnesota Enters the Fray Monday

We've been closely watching the severe weather setup across North Dakota, South Dakota, and South Carolina since our earlier coverage today. The latest from the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) keeps Slight Risks in place for these areas on Sunday, June 28, while extending the outlook to Minnesota for Monday, June 29.

A Slight Risk from the SPC means isolated severe thunderstorms are possible in the highlighted regions. This isn't a widespread event, but pockets of storms could pack a punch with damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph, hail around 1 inch in diameter, and perhaps an isolated tornado or two.

In the Dakotas, lingering instability from recent Plains action could spark storms this afternoon and evening, especially where daytime heating overlaps with subtle upper-level support. South Carolina faces similar isolated threats amid humid, unstable air near frontal boundaries. Looking ahead, Minnesota steps into the spotlight Monday as the system ejects eastward, priming the northern Plains for renewed activity.

Stay vigilant if you're in these areas—monitor your local National Weather Service office for the latest warnings and radar updates. Ensure you have a severe weather safety plan, like knowing your safe room and keeping devices charged.
