SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) — Showers and thunderstorms have been moving through central and western KELOLAND over the course of the night, with more chances for instability on the way later today. This time, it’ll be on both sides of the river.
Showers and storms will be in the cards for the Sunday outlook, though chances hold off a bit to the east and southeast…at least temporarily. Opportunities for showers and storms increase the later into the day we go, and the atmosphere will have some juice available for some storm development.
A Marginal Risk for severe weather is in place for central and eastern KELOLAND, with a Slight Risk area between Mobridge and Aberdeen. All forms of severe weather will be possible…including gusty winds, damaging hail, and a tornado or two. Please stay weather aware if you have any outdoor plans during the second half of the day.
Chances wane as we head beyond sunset and into the night, but we do still keep some instability in place to the east.
Southeastern KELOLAND gets a small break on Monday, while other areas of KELOLAND have another chance to see rain and maybe a storm or two as we go along. Showers linger into the day on Tuesday.
Better rain chances with a few storms in tow will move into the picture on Wednesday and linger through at least Thursday. This won’t be a matter of one side of the river seeing better chances than the other. Both sides of the river will get in on this. Rain chances do gradually dissipate as we go into Friday and the first half of the weekend.
Along the way, warmer than average temperatures will stick around, though not to the same extent the entire time. We’ll be well above average East River at first with some warm early days out west, but 70s return by Wednesday and stay with us through the end of the week. While it’ll be closer to average, temperatures will still be near to slightly above average as we lose a degree on our average high and low every couple of days.
