Update: Dakotas Slight Risk Broadens to North Dakota Today, Minnesota Looms Monday — SevereWX

Following our earlier alert on severe thunderstorm warnings across southeast South Dakota, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has broadened today's outlook. A Slight Risk now covers both North Dakota and South Dakota this Sunday, June 28, signaling the potential for isolated severe thunderstorms amid evolving storm clusters.

A Slight Risk from the SPC means scattered thunderstorms could produce isolated severe weather, but impacts won't be widespread. Expect possible hazards like damaging wind gusts up to 60-70 mph, hail around 1-2 inches, and brief, isolated tornadoes in the most intense cells, particularly as daytime heating fuels development over the northern Plains.

Looking ahead, this setup shifts eastward into Minnesota for Monday, June 29, where another Slight Risk highlights similar isolated threats as leftover energy interacts with rich moisture.

If you're in these areas, monitor your local National Weather Service office closely through the afternoon and evening. Have a severe weather safety plan ready—know your safe room, keep devices charged, and stay weather-aware.
