A strong storm system moving through the Pacific Northwest will bring the risk for severe thunderstorms throughout the day on Tuesday across the Northern Plains.

As the severe storms develop, they bring the risk of large hail, damaging winds, and even tornadoes.

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) says that an enhanced risk of severe storms is possible across Montana and into the western portions of the Dakotas.
