Update: South Dakota Storms Spread Slight Risk into Minnesota, North Dakota Today

We've been tracking the severe thunderstorms that prompted warnings across central South Dakota earlier today, June 29. Now, as those storms push northeast, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has issued a Slight Risk of severe weather for Monday, June 29, covering parts of Minnesota and North Dakota.

A Slight Risk from the SPC means isolated severe thunderstorms are possible in the highlighted areas. This isn't a widespread event, but any storms that develop could pack a punch.

Potential hazards include:

• Damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph or higher
• Hail around 1 inch in diameter
• Isolated brief tornadoes, especially given the recent tornado watch trends across the northern Plains

The setup features lingering instability and a subtle shortwave disturbance carrying storms from yesterday's action in South Dakota into these states this afternoon and evening. Keep an eye on radar as discrete storms could intensify quickly.

Stay prepared: Monitor your local National Weather Service office for updates, including any watches or warnings. Have a severe weather plan ready—know where to shelter and keep devices charged.
