Scattered thunderstorms will develop across central North Dakota
Wednesday 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. Some uncertainty remains, and
details will be refined as the event approaches.
Jamestown (CSi) If you’re wondering what all the Army Reserve vehicles were doing parked at the Buffalo Mall lot in Jamestown, Wednesday, the reservists were eating at nearby restaurants.
Captain Michael Miller with the 180th Transportation Company from Muskegon, Michigan says, the unit is on the two week summer training detail called, “Operation Maple Resolve,” bringing back equipment that was taken to a location in Canada by another unit, as part of their summer training. Miller says his unit will drop off the equipment at various Army Reserve and National Guard units along the way back to Muskegon.
Miller says the number of vehicles in this unit coming through Jamestown numbered just over a platoon size, involving a good number of vehicles parked in the Mall lot.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Cass County prosecutors say four officers who shot and killed a man during a traffic stop in West Fargo have been cleared of any wrongdoing.
KFGO radio reports that tactical officers were called on March 12 after 20-year-old Justin Dietrich threatened to shoot police. Prosecutors say Dietrich eventually got out of his vehicle holding two handguns when four officers simultaneously shot and killed him.
Investigators say Dietrich had methamphetamine and alcohol in his system.
Prosecutors also cleared Fargo police officers involved in a separate shooting on March 21. Authorities say Orlando Estrada was shot through an apartment door two times when he raised a large knife above his head and made a stabbing motion.
Estrada survived the shooting. He was charged with violating a no contact order.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Talks between the state of North Dakota a group of Native Americans failed to reach agreement over ways that tribal members can prove their identity in order to vote.
Republican Secretary of State Al Jaeger said the two sides could find no agreement during the closed-door meeting Tuesday. He declined to discuss any of the proposals, saying they are confidential.
Discussions “possibly may continue,” Jaeger said. “We’re leaving the door open.”
Tom Dickson, a Bismarck-based lawyer for tribal members, said he was hopeful a settlement could be reached. But he said “the ball is in the state’s court.”
The talks were suggested by U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland, who had criticized the state for raising a “litany of embellished concerns” about people taking advantage of his ruling last month that expand the proof of identity Native Americans can use for North Dakota elections.
Hovland earlier had blocked a state requirement that documents used by Native American include residential street addresses that often aren’t assigned on American Indian reservations. North Dakota officials called that part of his ruling unworkable, and said someone with only a post office box listed as their residence could vote where they don’t live.
In addition to allowing the post office box addresses, the judge expanded valid forms of identification to include more tribal documents.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota judge has dismissed a complaint that regulators filed against a North Carolina-based company that handled security for the developer of the heavily protested Dakota Access oil pipeline.
North Dakota’s Private Investigative and Security Board plans to appeal Judge John Grinsteiner’s Wednesday ruling to the state Supreme Court. Should that fail, it could pursue fines administratively.
The dispute is whether TigerSwan provided actual investigative or security services within North Dakota without a license, rather than consulting services that are outside of the board’s jurisdiction.
Grinsteiner in April rejected a board request to ban TigerSwan from the state. On Wednesday, he agreed with TigerSwan’s attorney that any decision on whether the company should be fined for its actions during the protests should be made administratively.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Bismarck man accused of terrorizing and sending child pornography to numerous people is facing new charges.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that 50-year-old Curtis McGarvey was charged Friday with six counts of promoting a sexual performance of a minor, promoting obscenity and stalking.
Authorities say new information from the investigation showed that McGarvey planted covert cameras in his residence and stalked an underage girl.
McGarvey faces numerous charges from the original case, including nine counts of promoting obscenity, child neglect and terrorizing. The terrorizing charge is connected to a bomb threat at a high school banquet.
Justin Vinje, McGarvey’s attorney, did not immediately return an email message left by The Associated Press. Vinje said after the first charges were filed that McGarvey maintains his innocence.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. is asking North Dakota regulators for a 3.3 percent increase in its natural gas rates. The request would raise a typical residential customer’s natural gas bill by about $1.82 a month.
North Dakota’s Public Service Commission on Wednesday began a three-day hearing on the proposal.
MDU’s proposed natural gas increase would raise $3.6 million in additional revenues for the Bismarck-based company each year. MDU says it needs additional money to operate and maintain its natural gas pipeline system.
The Minot Air Force Base, AARP, and PSC staff are questioning the need for the rate increase.
The utility has about 109,000 North Dakota customers.
