Scattered thunderstorms will develop across central North Dakota
this afternoon through the early evening.
Locally heavy rain and dangerous lightning are expected.
Two rounds of severe weather are possible across western and
central North Dakota Thursday through Friday night.
For Thursday, the most likely scenario is for severe thunderstorms
to possibly develop across northwest North Dakota late Thursday
afternoon or early evening, and possibly move into north central
North Dakota during the late evening and overnight. Additional
scattered thunderstorms, possibly strong to severe, may develop
late Thursday evening and through the night across the southwest
and south central. Large hail to ping pong ball size, damaging
winds in excess of 65 mph, heavy rainfall, and dangerous
lightning are the primary threats.
A potentially more widespread, and significant severe weather
event is possible Friday afternoon through Friday night across
western and central North Dakota. The greatest risk at this time
appears to be across the central. All hazards are possible
including potentially very large hail, damaging winds, a few
tornadoes, and heavy rainfall.
Details will be refined as the event approaches.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A former Burleigh County sheriff’s deputy has pleaded not guilty to charges that he stole evidence from drug cases.
Thirty-one-year-old Kerry Komrosky entered his plea Tuesday. The Bismarck Tribune reports attorneys agreed to a three-day trial, with dates to be determined.
Komrosky’s charges include possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, theft of property and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Agents from the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation testified at Komrosky’s preliminary hearing, describing what they say were 2.9 pounds (1,315 grams) of methamphetamine and 47 grams of cocaine found in Komrosky’s home last month.
Komrosky resigned last month from the Burleigh County Sheriff’s Department. Earlier this month, the state Peace Officer Standards and Training Board suspended his peace officer’s license pending the outcome of his criminal case.
SOLEN, N.D. (AP) — Morton County authorities say preliminary findings indicate a propane leak might have caused a weekend house explosion in rural Solen.
Sheriff’s officials say a man was walking out of the home Sunday morning when it exploded and caught fire. He survived but suffered an arm injury. The home was destroyed.
The Bismarck Tribune reports the incident remains under investigation.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Halliday man will spend two years on probation for spitting on a Minot police officer.
Twenty-six-year-old Garrett Smith was charged July 22, 2017, after a hotel room brawl in which Smith was stabbed in the neck and shoulder.
Authorities say Smith spit on an officer while being taken to a hospital emergency room.
The Minot Daily News reports that Smith recently pleaded guilty to a felony spitting charge, and prosecutors dropped felony charges of resisting arrest and aggravated assault.
Smith was sentenced to the 44 days he had served behind bars, with the rest of a one-year sentence suspended. He also must pay $1,100 in court costs. If he successfully completes probation, the charge will be reduced to a misdemeanor.
WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The West Fargo School District will ask voters to approve a nearly $107 million bonding referendum to help build a new high school and middle school.
KFGO says about $88 million would be targeted for new construction. The rest would pay for additions or renovations at Harwood and Horace elementary schools, security upgrades and artificial turf for three high school football fields.
The school board has set the referendum vote for Sept. 25.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Officials have offered a glimpse of the interior of North Dakota’s new $5 million governor’s mansion, calling the new home more suitable and secure for the state’s first families.
Capitol Facilities Manager John Boyle told reporters Tuesday that final touches are still being done to the 13,700-square-foot home on the state Capitol grounds. He says a public open house will occur later this summer.
Republican Gov. Doug Burgum and first lady Kathryn Helgaas Burgum, along with Mr. Gray the cat, moved into the home in March.
The old mansion that had served North Dakota’s first families for more than 57 years was torn down earlier this month.
The Legislature in 2015 approved construction of the new mansion, stipulating that $1 million of its cost be funded by private donations.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Members of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation’s board have voted to pursue trademarks through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
The board’s executive committee on Tuesday voted to obtain trademarks for both “Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library” and “Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum,” along with associated logos.
Board attorney Murray Sagsveen recommended getting the trademarks before someone outside the state decides to do so.
The foundation is working to develop a presidential library at Theodore Roosevelt National Park in western North Dakota.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota farmers are taking advantage of good weather to catch up on spring planning.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says there were 6.1 days suitable for fieldwork during the week ending Sunday.
Soybean planting was 72 percent, behind last year’s pace of 79 percent but ahead of the five-year average of 61 percent. Twenty percent of soybeans had emerged, near last year’s 24 percent and on par with average.
Farmers had planted 87 percent of the corn crop, which is behind last year’s 92 percent but near the 84 percent average. Of the planted corn, 34 percent had emerged, well behind 62 percent last year and behind the 46 percent average.
Pasture and range conditions in North Dakota are rated 27 percent poor or very poor.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Game and Fish Department personnel this spring have stocked trout of catchable size in more than 50 fisheries across North Dakota.
More than 60,000 rainbow trout of about half a pound were stocked, along with 1,000 1- to 3-pound cutthroat and rainbow trout.
Fisheries official Jerry Weigel says most of the recently stocked waters are community fisheries that have fishing piers. He says they provide a great opportunity for first-time anglers to catch fish, because trout bite aggressively in the spring before temperatures rise.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A report released by Gov. Mark Dayton’s office says the Super Bowl brought $370 million in new spending to the Twin Cities area.
The final tally by Rockport Analytics came in $50 million over the company’s pre-Super Bowl projections. It also says the 10 days leading up to the Feb. 4 game brought in $32 million in new tax revenue for state and local government.
The report put gross local spending at $450 million. Subtracting money that would have been spent anyway or was displaced by the event reduced net new spending to $370 million.
U.S. Bank Stadium will host the NCAA men’s basketball Final Four next April 6-8. Rockport predicts the tournament will bring $124 million in net spending to the region and $23 million in tax revenue.

MLB-NEWS
UNDATED (AP) — Astros catcher Brian McCann has been put on the 10-day disabled list because of right knee soreness and returned to Houston to be examined. Houston manager A.J. Hinch said McCann has been dealing with the issue and felt it more during Monday’s game. McCann is mired in a 1-for-26 slump that has dropped his batting average to .219.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL-DIVINCENZO-NBA
UNDATED (AP) — Villanova is losing one of its most important players from the Wildcats’ most recent run to an NCAA men’s basketball title.
Final Four most outstanding player Donte DiVincenzo is staying in the NBA draft after helping Villanova win the national championship. The school announced DiVincenzo’s decision a day before the NCAA deadline for players who haven’t hired an agent to withdraw from the draft and return to school. The 6-foot-5 guard had two years of eligibility remaining.
DiVincenzo was the Big East sixth man of the year and averaged 13.4 points with 4.8 rebounds, capped by a dazzling 31-point showing against Michigan for the Wildcats’ second NCAA title in three seasons.

NBA FINALS-LOVE
UNDATED (AP) — Cavaliers All-Star forward Kevin Love remains in concussion protocol and his status for Game 1 of the NBA Finals is still unclear.
Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue gave an update Tuesday before the team flew to San Francisco for Thursday’s opener. The Cavs are playing the Golden State Warriors in the finals for the fourth straight year.
Love missed Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals at Boston after banging heads with Celtics rookie Jayson Tatum in the previous game. Jeff Green started for Love in Game 7 and finished with 19 points with eight rebounds in Cleveland’s 87-79 victory.
Love has played center and forward this season and is averaging 13.9 points and 10.0 rebounds this postseason. He sat out the 2015 finals with a separated shoulder.
Also in the NBA:
— A person familiar with the matter tells The Associated Press that the Philadelphia 76ers have worked out a three-year contract extension with head coach Brett Brown through the 2021-22 season. The Sixers won 52 games this season and beat Miami in the first round of the playoffs before they were eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals by Boston.
NFL-ANTHEM
UNDATED (AP) — The NFL’s new policy against national anthem protests continues to receive backlash from players.
Jets wide receiver Jermaine Kearse and left tackle Kelvin Beachum say the policy is “disappointing” and team owners are “missing the point.” And Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith says the NFL has “dropped the ball” on its new policy that forbids players from sitting or taking a knee on the field during the national anthem.
NFL owners voted last Wednesday to require players to stand for the anthem or stay in the locker room. Teams will be fined if players don’t stand.
Some players have been kneeling during the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” before games the last two seasons to protest police brutality and racial inequality.
Jets acting owner Christopher Johnson said shortly after the league announced the policy that he will not punish his players for any peaceful protests — and would pay any potential fines incurred by the team as a result of his players’ actions.
Kearse says he wishes other NFL owners would be more like Johnson by supporting their players and having conversations with them.
TENNIS-FRENCH OPEN
PARIS (AP) — Serena Williams has won her first Grand Slam match as a mother — and first match at a major in 16 months.
Williams beat 70th-ranked Kristyna Pliskova of the Czech Republic 7-6, 6-4 to reach the second round of the French Open. The 36-year-old American had not competed at a Grand Slam tournament since the Australian Open in January 2017, when she was pregnant and won her 23rd major championship.
Williams gave birth to a daughter last September.
Two-time French Open champion Maria Sharapova of Russia was pushed to three sets in her return to the Paris Grand Slam following a two-year absence. Sharapova eventually prevailed 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 in her first win at the French Open since 2015. She served a drug ban in 2016 and was not granted a wild card last year.
Other first-round winners on the women’s side were third seed Garbine Muguruza (gahr-BEEN’ moo-gah-ROO’-thuh), seventh seed Caroline Garcia, No. 11 Julia Georges and No. 12 Angelique Kerber. None of the seeded players were beaten.
Rafael Nadal narrowly avoided dropping a set at the Open for the first time in three years as he finished off his rain-interrupted 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 victory over 129th-ranked Simone Bolelli of Italy. Beginning his bid for a record-extending 11th championship at Roland Garros, Nadal needed to erase four set points to close things out.
Third seed Marin Cilic (CHIH’-lihch) and sixth seed Kevin Anderson also won in straight sets, while Juan Martin Del Potro advanced in four sets after dropping the opener, 6-1.
American and 14th seed Jack Sock was highly critical of the official during and after his 6-7, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6, 6-3 loss to Jurgen Zopp.
In French Open action today:
— Simona Halep has turned things around in her first-round match at the French Open and is headed to a third set against 83rd-ranked Alison Riske of the United States. After dropping the first set 6-2 at Court Philippe Chatrier, Halep grabbed 19 of the first 22 points en route to a 5-0 lead in the second, which she eventually took 6-1.
