WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — A county emergency manager is pushing for better weather radar coverage in western North Dakota after a tornado ripped through the area.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that the closest Doppler radars to Watford City are about 140 miles (225 kilometers) away near Minot. Warning coordination meteorologist John Paul Martin says radars at that distance detect storms forming at least 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) above ground.
Emergency manager Karolin Jappe is advocating for a radar closer to McKenzie County, which leads the state in oil production. Watford City faced an EF2 classification tornado last week that killed a newborn baby and injured more than two dozen.
Officials aren’t clear whether better radar coverage would’ve changed the outcome, but Gov. Doug Burgum says state officials plan to look into the issue.

VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) — Work will begin this summer on the new outdoor practice area for the University of South Dakota’s football team.
The Argus Leader reports that the Coyotes may be able to use the new outdoor fields later this fall or when practice begins in the spring.
The project is part of the university’s $26.3 million transformation of its athletic facilities. University athletic director David Herbster says more detailed renderings of the finished product will be available later this summer.
Work will also replace the portable bleachers with permanent seats. The football locker room, team meeting areas and offices will be located under the seats.
The next part of the project includes the interior renovation of the DakotaDome.
USD is one of four Division I athletic programs in the Dakotas.
In world and national news…
HELSINKI (AP) — At a side-by-side news conference with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, President Donald Trump openly questioned his own intelligence agencies’ conclusions Monday that Moscow was to blame for meddling in the 2016 U.S. election to Trump’s benefit. Putin said he did indeed want to Trump to win _ because of his policies _ but took no action to make it happen.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. John McCain calls President Donald Trump’s press conference “one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory.” The Arizona Republican says the summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki was “a tragic mistake.” McCain, who has been away from the Senate as he battles brain cancer, said the damage inflicted by Trump’s “naiveté, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate.”
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A federal judge has temporarily halted deportations of families who have been recently reunited after they were separated by the Trump administration. The American Civil Liberties Union filed paperwork saying attorneys were concerned about rumors of “mass deportations” following reunification of children ages five to 17 with their parents. Judge Dana Sabraw said Monday he’d order a temporary halt to any deportations for a week.
LOS FRESNOS, Texas (AP) — The Trump administration has made it harder for Central Americans fleeing gangs and domestic violence to travel to the U.S. and ask for asylum. Attorneys representing asylum seekers say their clients are being more frequently denied “credible fear” of bodily harm or death in their home countries since Attorney General Jeff Sessions tightened who can qualify. They also say immigration judges are reluctant to reverse those decisions on appeal.
NEW YORK (AP) — A New York state agency is investigating tenant harassment claims in a Brooklyn apartment building owned by the Kushner Cos. The probe by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Tenant Protection Unit comes after a report by The Associated Press uncovered allegations that noisy construction was used to harass tenants. On Monday, 20 tenants and former tenants filed suit against Jared Kushner’s family firm for allegedly making living conditions in their building intolerable. The firm had no immediate response.
