The Weather Centre has identified 3 areas of tornadic winds.
Two of these are considered more classic wind patterns, and the other one is not as well known.
The red and green couplet indicate strong opposing winds, and ideal situation for tornadoes.
The area i am most worried about it the northernmost tornado warning, where the lightest green and deepest red intersect into a couplet- a trademark of tornadoes.
The middle tornado warning is a fairly large section of intense green which means winds going towards the radar site. In that middle warning, we are watching for the slightest hint of red, which would indicate a rapidly developing couplet- red and green together in a tight area.

July 10 Updated Moderate Severe Weather Risk
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a moderate risk of severe weather for the following areas:
-Southeast North Dakota
-Northeast South Dakota
The reason for this upgrade is a 45% risk of hail in the above mentioned areas.
These storms are intensifying, so people in the moderate risk should take this threat seriously.

StormTrack: July 10: Strong Storms to the southeast of Bismarck
Incredible velocities are evident on storms to the southeast of Bismarck, North Dakota.
There is a tornado warning in effect, and you can read it on the right sidebar of the above image.
The tornado warning issued is definitely worth it, as the image above displays.
There is a very defined hook on radar in addition to these incredibly strong winds.

StormTrack: July 10 Bismarck Severe Storms
The Weather Centre is monitoring strong storms tracking towards Bismarck, North Dakota.
We have identified an area of potential weak rotation southwest of Bismarck.
The reason I say weak is because one direction's winds are above 30 knots, while the other direction doesn't pass 20 knots, therefore the winds are not terrifically conductive for a tornado.
However, with areas of stronger directional winds to the north of the lower wind speed, there remains potential for both parties to adjust into a couplet of strong rotation.
We will continue to monitor this situation.

Calvin weakens below tropical storm strength
Tropical Storm Calvin has weakened below tropical storm strength and has dissipated in the East Pacific. This is the last bulletin to be issued about Calvin.
