A significant severe weather event is expected Friday afternoon and
evening. Scattered severe storms will likely first develop across
western North Dakota between 2 pm and 4 pm CDT Friday, and are forecast to merge into a solid line of storms by the time they reach Highway
83 in the late afternoon or early evening. The line of storms will
then move eastward across the remainder of central North Dakota
and the James River valley this evening. The storms could produce
very large hail, possibly up to the size of tennis balls, damaging
wind gusts up to 70 mph, and very heavy rainfall. A few tornadoes
are also possible this afternoon, with the greatest tornado risk
in areas along and west of Highway 83.
Strong northwest winds gusting up to 45 mph are likely across
western and central North Dakota on Saturday.

JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) — The National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown has welcomed a special addition to its herd.
Museum Director Ilana Xinos (il-AH’nah ZEE’-nohs) says a white female cow was born at Shirek Buffalo Ranch in Michigan, North Dakota. She’s a descendant of White Cloud, who lived with the herd at the National Buffalo Museum for 20 years.
Native Americans consider the white buffalo to be sacred. Xinos says the birth will allow the museum to contribute to current research in bison genetics since there’s still much to learn about the connection of albinism and bison.
White Cloud originally returned home to Shirek Buffalo Ranch in May 2016 where she died. In her lifetime at the National Buffalo Museum, she had 11 bison calves including another white buffalo, Dakota Miracle, who is also in the Jamestown herd.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum wants employers to identify workforce issues through a new online survey. The Republican governor announced the 40-question survey on Friday. He says the results of the two-week survey will help provide input for workforce development. Burgum says the lack of workers is a top issue in North Dakota.
Rhame, N.D. (NDHP) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol reports, on Tuesday, May 29 at 7:00 PM, a complaint of a reckless driver was reported west of Bowman. An NDHP Trooper located the vehicle, a 2012 Ford F350 pulling a flatbed trailer, and a traffic stop was initiated. The driver fled from the scene headed west on Highway 12 where
he eventually turned and headed east. Bowman County Deputies successfully utilized a tire deflation device, ending the vehicle pursuit. After stopping, the driver exited his vehicle and ran on foot going north toward Rhame. A local resident called 911 and stated that a male subject was hiding under their camper. Officers involved located the camper and the suspect was taken
into custody without incident.
38 year old Joshua Cruz, of Colorado Springs, CO, was taken into custody for driving under the influence, fleeing a police officer, driving under suspension, reckless driving, and outstanding warrants out of Colorado. Further charges are pending after a search warrant was completed of the vehicle and illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia were located in the vehicle.
The North Dakota Highway Patrol was assisted by the Bowman County Sheriff’s Department.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he won’t impose any additional sanctions on North Korea for the time being.
Trump says “we had hundreds of new sanctions ready to go.” But he says he won’t impose them “until the talks break down.”
The president is referencing ongoing discussions with North Korea in preparation for a June 12 summit in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Trump announced Friday after meeting with a top aide to Kim that the summit is back on. He had announced just last week that he was canceling the meeting.
Speaking after the Oval Office meeting, the president said he looks forward to the day when he can “take the sanctions off” North Korea.
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers extended a streak of solid hiring in May, adding 223,000 jobs and pushing the unemployment to an 18-year low of 3.8 percent.
The Labor Department says average hourly pay rose 2.7 percent from a year earlier, a slightly faster annual rate than the previous month. But wage gains remain below the levels that are typical when the unemployment rate is this low.
Still, the report suggests that the nearly 9-year old economic expansion — the second-longest on record — remains on track. Employers appear to be shrugging off recent concerns about global trade disputes. The job market is also benefiting more people: The jobless rate for high school graduates fell to 3.9 percent, a 17-year low. For black Americans, it dropped to a record low of 5.9 percent.
WASHINGTON (AP) — With a tantalizing tweet, President Donald Trump seemed to tease a positive jobs report on Friday.
That was a protocol-defying step that moved markets and raised questions about the appropriateness of the president publicly hinting at information that could make or lose fortunes.
Treasury yields jumped within seconds of Trump’s 7:21 a.m. tweet that he was “looking forward to seeing the employment numbers at 8:30 this morning.”
That suggests traders likely were making investment decisions based on what they extrapolated from Trump’s post. Trump was briefed on the jobs report the night before.
One hour and nine minutes after Trump’s tweet, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that 223,000 jobs were created in May and that the unemployment rate fell to 3.8 percent.
NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook says it’s shutting down its ill-fated “trending” news section after four years.
A company official is telling The Associated Press that the feature is outdated and wasn’t popular.
The official says Facebook is testing new features, including a “breaking news” label that publishers can add to stories and ways to make local news more prominent.
According to research from Pew, about 44 percent of U.S. adults get news from Facebook.
The trending section has proved problematic in several important ways. First came a report that its human editors were biased against conservatives. After Facebook fired those editors, the algorithms it replaced them with couldn’t always distinguish real news from fake.
In many ways, those issues foreshadowed Facebook’s more recent problems with fake news and political balance.
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials tell The Associated Press that the Defense Department will take over background investigations for the federal government, using increased automation to tighten controls and tackle a massive backlog of workers waiting for security clearances.
The change aims to address gaps and delays in a system that were highlighted by the case of a Navy contractor who later gunned down a dozen people at Washington’s Navy Yard in 2013.
Pentagon officials say that over the next three years, the department will take responsibility for all background investigations involving its military and civilian employees and contractors.
And according to a U.S. official, the White House is expected to soon give the Defense Department authority to conduct security reviews for nearly all other government agencies as well.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says it’s a “total double standard” that comedian Samantha Bee wasn’t fired for using a vulgar, sexist term to describe his daughter and top White House adviser, Ivanka Trump.
Bee and the TBS network that airs her show, “Full Frontal,” have apologized after Bee used the expletive.
The incident came shortly after ABC canceled the show “Roseanne” after comedian Roseanne Barr compared an aide during the Obama administration, who is African-American, to an ape. Barr, a favorite among conservatives, has also apologized.
Trump tweeted Friday: “Why aren’t they firing no talent Samantha Bee for the horrible language used on her low ratings show? A total double standard but that’s O.K., we are Winning, and will be doing so for a long time to come!”
