Early morning storms cause wind damage, power outages in Grand Forks
Jul. 27—GRAND FORKS — A line of thunderstorms that blew through early Sunday morning caused wind damage in Greater Grand Forks and tornado warnings south of the city. The National Weather Service office in Grand Forks reported that the line of thunderstorms caused wind gusts up to 73 mph as it went through the city shortly after 2 a.m. Sunday, July 27. The NWS has gotten reports of tree damage and parts of the city and the county, but not many reports of hail, which was a possibility with the storm. "The line of severe storms had mainly winds as they came through Grand Forks County," said Jennifer Ritterling, a NWS meteorologist. "I've seen several (wind damage) reports and some have called in with trees down and large branches." And as of Sunday morning, there was a chance that more storm weather could be on the way, into Sunday evening. "There is a continued chance for some severe weather, albeit not as high as it was (Saturday)," Ritterling said. "Greatest chances are going to be south and east, more lake country than over Grand Forks." Two tornado warnings were posted south of Grand Forks as the storms went through, in the areas of Northwood and Thompson. All warnings have since expired. Power was knocked out in parts of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks, according to reports from Xcel Energy, East Grand Forks Water and Light and Grand Forks Emergency Management. Crews are working to get power restored, and all outages in East Grand Forks were resolved Sunday morning. Outages in parts of Grand Forks continued into the morning, with around 1,324 customers without power as of 9:30 a.m., according to Grand Forks Emergency Management. Damage throughout the city mostly involved downed tree branches, although construction signs were blown over and garbage cans were strewn throughout town. Devin McCleary, an employee of the Grand Forks Parks Department, said he was called to work at roughly 7 a.m. He spent Sunday morning with a lift truck and chainsaw, clearing downed branches from streets. "Right now, we're just getting rid of hazards and the stuff that's blocking the streets and safety issues and then we'll come back through and actually clean it up," he said. The damage, he said, "is pretty decent, but I've seen worse," he said. The city did not receive any damage to infrastructure, according to Grand Forks City Administrator Todd Feland. The city is currently assessing tree damage and will be supporting the Grand Forks Park District in cleanup for trees that fell or received damage. "The streets are strewn with leaves and branches, so we'll get those cleaned up this week with street sweepers and see if we have to do some pick-up with trucks with some of the trees," Feland said. Unofficial rainfall numbers showed less than a quarter-inch in Sunday morning's storm. After Sunday, the weather is expected to calm, with highs in the mid-70s to 80s and mostly sunny weather.

Prayers Are Pouring In For Minnesota On Sunday
Prayers Are Pouring In For Minnesota On Sunday originally appeared on The Spun. Prayers are pouring in for the state of Minnesota on Sunday afternoon. The National Weather Service has issued multiple serious tornado warnings for the state of Minnesota on Sunday afternoon, as heavy storms have impacted the area. Major storms, including strong thunderstorms, serious wind and spotted tornadoes, are hitting the northern U.S. state throughout the day on Sunday. It looks dangerous. As a reminder, here's what to do when a tornado strikes: Stay Weather-Ready: Continue to listen to local news or a NOAA Weather Radio to stay updated about tornado watches and warnings. At Your House: If you are in a tornado warning, go to your basement, safe room, or an interior room away from windows. Don't forget pets if time allows. At Your Workplace or School: Follow your tornado drill and proceed to your tornado shelter location quickly and calmly. Stay away from windows and do not go to large open rooms such as cafeterias, gymnasiums, or auditoriums. Outside: Seek shelter inside a sturdy building immediately if a tornado is approaching. Sheds and storage facilities are not safe. Neither is a mobile home or tent. If you have time, get to a safe building. In a vehicle: Being in a vehicle during a tornado is not safe. The best course of action is to drive to the closest shelter. If you are unable to make it to a safe shelter, either get down in your car and cover your head, or abandon your car and seek shelter in a low lying area such as a ditch or ravine. Our thoughts are with the friends and family members of everyone in Minnesota on Sunday.

Extreme heat returns to most of Massachusetts. See which areas are under heat advisory
Extreme heat is returning to Massachusetts starting Monday and Boston could see its third heat wave of the summer through Wednesday. The WBZ Next Weather Team has issued a Next Weather Alert for high heat on the way for the first half of the upcoming week. A Heat Advisory goes into effect for all of southern New England aside for the Berkshires, Cape Cod, and the Islands starting Monday at 11 a.m. through Wednesday at 8 p.m., with heat index values climbing into the mid 90s to near 100 degrees. Tuesday looks to be the hottest day with actual temperatures climbing into the mid 90s, and feeling more like 100 degrees with the higher humidity. But many towns will also get into the 90s on Monday and Wednesday. If you're looking for some relief from the heat, sea breezes will keep the immediate coast line, Cape Cod and the Islands a little cooler with temperatures in the 80s. Boston could hit 90 degrees or higher all three days, which would make it the third heat wave of the summer for the city. So far this summer, we've already had 14 90-degree days and will likely tack on a few more this week. With temperatures in the 90s and high humidity heat illnesses are possible, it's recommended to drink plenty of water, stay cool in the shade or air conditioned rooms and to try and limit strenuous activities outside. If you don't like the heat there is relief in sight! A cold front mid week looks to bring some showers Thursday followed by cooler, more comfortable air for the end of the week and upcoming weekend!
