Good Saturday to one and all. Our weekend got off to a very pleasant start Friday and that nice weather will continue for much of today. Get out and enjoy it as the threat for some more big time showers and thunderstorms will increase over the next few days.
This is a pattern we have seen many times before this spring and summer and just went through it last weekend. The hot temps across the southern plains will make a run at the Ohio Valley over the next few days and this will create rounds of thunderstorms on the edge of the heat. That is exactly where we will be again and this will leave us in the line of fire…
Torrential rains will be likely for some during this time and this can lead to some local high water issues. The threat for severe storms will be with us as well. Here is the latest from the Storm Prediction Center…
Sunday’s Severe Threat
Western parts of the state may get the action started off a little sooner than the rest of us as some boomers may move in this afternoon into the evening. You can watch these push in from the northwest here…
I will have updates as needed so be sure to check back. Have a great Saturday and take care.

This is worth linking again, because those poor folks in Minot are suffering. FEMA needs to get involved.

They need FEMA like they need more water.
I use to live in Minot. Go to Google Maps and you can see how the river is huge and then there is a damn and then you can see how think the river gets. Then look how it snakes throughout the city. No wonder it is flooding. Plus, with it being so flat there, what a disaster.
Apparently a lot has to do with the fact that Canada is releasing water so that they don’t flood. That is what I read at least.
Jake, the Weather Channel showed the same thing last night – Canada has opened two dams, and then the Army Corps of Engs. opened one in ND. Result: more water than Minot- and other communities along the river – ever wanted.
Man alive is the Jackson Purchase totally submerged yet? It seems like every other day since the beginning of spring they have been getting hammered with heavy rainfall.
