Dakotas Weather Has Something For Everyone

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Flooding, freezing, fresh snow and even a funnel cloud.

The Dakotas saw it all over the weekend, and the unseasonably cool weather is forecast to continue for a few days. Freeze warnings are in place for many areas.

National Weather Service reports show heavy rain across much of the two states over the weekend. The rain led to street and underpass flooding in some cities, and some rivers and creeks overtopped their banks. There were no immediate reports of major damage.

Weather service meteorologists in Aberdeen reported a funnel cloud in that area Sunday. And snow fell late Sunday and early Monday in parts of North Dakota — including up to 2 inches in the north central part of the state. State officials issued a travel alert in that region.
