A cold front moving through the Northern High Plains today will bring a chance for strong to severe storms. Damaging winds and large hail will be the main weather risks.  Here is the very latest forecast.

Severe Outlook

Areas of the Dakotas and northern areas of Minnesota will have the highest chance for severe storms today.  A slight risk has been issued for cities like Rapid City, Bismarck and Fargo.  This means scattered severe storms are in the forecast.

Severe Risks

Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary threats.  Hail could be up to 2" in diameter and wind gusts could be over 70 mph within some of today's storms.  You will want a backup plan in place if you have any outdoor activities.
