Locally severe thunderstorms will affect parts of the northern Plains through Wednesday.
"It could be a big day for severe weather both Tuesday into Wednesday," said AccuWeather Severe Weather Expert Henry Margusity.

Damaging wind gusts and large hail are likely to be the most widespread dangers, although a few tornadoes may spin up with the strongest storms.
"It's a little early in the season for tornadoes in [the northern Plains], but the pattern is highly amplified and is why that area will get hit," said Margusity.
