Where would you go if a tornado warning alerted you in the middle of the night? Or what if thunder rumbled on the horizon during your child's soccer match?

#SafePlaceSelfie Day is fun, easy to participate in, and might just help save lives.

A couple of our forecasters along with several hydrologists from the @NWSncrfc visited the Thompson Hydro facility yesterday! Through this visit, we were able to build relations that help maintain public safety along the St. Louis River system. Thank you @mnpower for the tour!

Will you be ready for sudden flash floods? Stay #WeatherReady by enabling weather alerts on your phone. If flooding occurs while you’re outdoors, immediately get to higher ground, and NEVER enter floodwaters in a vehicle or on foot. https://t.co/brcfelpMIu #WeatherReady

Neat weather phenomenon alert 🚨

A lake breeze circulation formed around the vast expanse of flood waters along the Red River north of Grand Forks. Notice how a line of cumulus clouds forms just east of the "lake" and then treks east through the afternoon. #ndwx #mnwx

We have a couple of areas that are expecting some significant precipitation as we move toward the weekend. Across ND, rain on top of snow could result in some #flooding concerns. Be sure to monitor the latest forecasts, and be prepared!
