COUGAR ALERT:
McKenzie County takes the top spot for Mountain Lion encounters in North Dakota, but three other counties are right on its heels. Is yours one of them?

ATTENTION CAPITAL REGION:

Check out this TERRIFYING tornado video from last night, along with storm damage videos and photos from the Beulah & Zap areas.

Plus, we have all the area rainfall reports. It looks like the Watford City area had the highest total in the state, with over two inches of rain. Over an inch and a half fell in the Menoken area.

Looks like it could be a carbon copy tomorrow. We are expecting another round of severe weather with just about everything on the table. For full details, just tap below in the comments. 👇

Britta Curl leaves the Minnesota Frost for Detroit's PWHL expansion team, with fans divided over her move and playing style.

Some "Twin Cities Trolls" had some pretty disgusting things to say about the move, which we couldn't disagree with more.

Britta is coming back to Bismarck: Find out about her hockey camp and how you can meet her at an upcoming Bismarck Larks baseball game.

BISMARCK-MANDAN: We have some potentially nasty severe weather heading our way starting TODAY and into next week. This could be the strongest setup we've seen so far this season.

It all kicks off late this afternoon, with powerful thunderstorms likely rolling in after a hot and windy afternoon. We are talking high winds, the potential for heavy rain, large hail, and even a tornado.

TIMELINE & IMPACTS: The NWS just broke down the exact timing of when this hits our area and what to expect for the rest of the week.
