Live Severe Weather Updates: North Dakota Slight Risk — July 24, 2026

A Slight risk for severe thunderstorms outlines much of North Dakota today, per the SPC Day 1 outlook. Scattered storms could produce damaging winds, large hail, and an isolated tornado, mainly this afternoon and evening. Multiple mesoscale discussions highlight low-end threats elsewhere in the Plains, Southeast coast, and Intermountain West, but no watches or warnings are active right now. The focus sharpens on northern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota, where storms may organize enough for a watch.
