There is at least a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms accompanied by winding winds to have an impact on Monday to a generalized part of the Plains of the North, with the chances of such storms which should be particularly high for two states.
Why it matters
Serious thunderstorms must have had an impact on parts of the northern plains on Monday, with damaging winds that could reach the force of hurricanes, although storms are not tropical in nature. People of at least two states had to face a combination of harmful storms, possible tornadoes and risk of flooding, stressing the importance of preparation and vigilance during maximum summer storm periods.

What to know
The National Weather Service (NWS) Storm prediction Center expressed severe weather prospects early Monday morning by warning generalized damage, including certain gusts which should reach or exceed 75 MPH – qualifying the force of the hurricane – across the south and southwest Dakota of Minnesota later in the day.
Even larger parts of the two states, as well as parts of Iowa, Northern Dakota and Nebraska, expect a light or improved risk of similar storms on Monday.
In addition to these potentially destructive winds, the forecasters provided for a risk of a few tornadoes and a large isolated hail in the region. The perspectives also noted that largely dispersed storms capable of wind and serious hail could develop through parts of Montana.
Severe storm warnings were already in place for eastern Montana and Dakota northern Western Monday morning, the risk that should persist throughout the day.
In addition to severe storm warnings, severe thunderstorm watches, severe weather statements and dangerous weather prospects were also in place through the Plains du Nord Monday morning.
What people say
The meteorologist of the NWS Storm prediction Center Andrew Lyons said Nowsweek:: “It is quite common to obtain occasional days when you have a very strong line of thunderstorms around this part of the country. We generally emit them once or twice a year at that time of the year.”
A severe thunderstorm warning for bismarck, northern dakota, region: “These storms have a history of production of severe wind gusts greater than 60 MPH. For your protection, go to an inner room at the lowest background of a building and keep away from the windows.”
A severe weather declaration for Billings, Montana, region: “Look for a shelter in a well-constructed structure and get away from the windows. This storm is capable of producing damaging winds and a large hail.”
What happens next
The threat of severe storm in the northern plains was to continue until Monday evening, with eastern south Dakota and southwest minnesota invited to monitor warnings in real time and take refuge when opinions are issued. If forecast gusts exceed 75 MPH, generalized utility breakdowns and structural damage may occur, impacts in reflect generally associated with outdoor bands.
Residents in the affected areas have been encouraged to remain prepared, to remain informed via official weather opinions and to examine violent weather protocols while the risks of storm persisted through large sections of the nation.
