The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center is predicting severe thunderstorms for a large swath of South Dakota, Southwest Minnesota and Northern Iowa for later this afternoon through the evening hours.
The SPC issued a moderate risk for severe weather for the region, or a four-out-of-five chance of seeing severe weather.
According to the SPC, storm clusters will form this afternoon in South Dakota and make their way into Southwest Minnesota. Wind gusts up 75 to 90 miles per hour are possible, as well as the possibility of tornadoes, large hail and heavy rainfall.
The storms are expected to move very quickly, meaning storms could hit with little or no advance warning.
As of 2 p.m., no watches or warnings had been issued for the region yet, but they are likely to be issued later this afternoon.
