Storm Center AM Update: Mainly Quiet into Monday; Warmth to Return
SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) — While most of the day is shaping up to be mainly quiet (Beyond one exception that we'll get to in a moment), we'll also have to contend with smoky skies once again.
Smoke from Canadian wildfires will travel along the jet stream and move into the Northern Plains. Those of you with respiratory problems will need to keep this in mind, as air quality concerns will be in place. Visibility may be less than ideal at times as well.
Like I mentioned earlier, much of the day is mainly quiet…but the exception is to the northeast. Some scattered showers and maybe an isolated rumble of thunder or two will be possible as a little impulse of energy sweeps in from north to south. While coverage is sparse, it'll be something to consider if you have outdoor plans. A few of these sprinkles may try to head into southeastern KELOLAND, but that will be the exception to the rule.
Monday and Tuesday are shaping up to be mainly quiet days beyond a few isolated showers here and there across portions of the region. Better chances for rain arrive as we head into the second half of the week.
With heat building, we'll have a little more fuel to work with for pop-up showers and thunderstorms from Wednesday through Friday. While the overall severe threat is pretty low here, it'll still be something to consider if you have outdoor plans in the second half of the week. We'll dry to dry out as we head into the weekend.
All the while, that heat that I mentioned sticks around. Widespread 80s with a few 90s are possible from Tuesday through the end of the week, so plan accordingly.
Here's a look at your extended forecast:

Here's how you can check the air quality where you live
(KDVR) — Wildfires in Canada have caused poor air quality and smoky skies across several U.S. metros for days. On Wednesday, the air quality in New York City was ranked the worst in the world. 'I can taste the air': Canadian wildfire smoke spreads hazardous haze at home and in the US That's according to IQAir's Air Quality and Pollution City Ranking, which is updated hourly, the air pollution advocacy organization explains. It's important to note that while New York City is currently in the top spot for unhealthy air, it will likely drop back down once the aforementioned smoke disappears. A few weeks ago, Denver, Colorado, was ranked among the top 10 worst in the world due to wildfire smoke. As of Wednesday, the city ranked 96th on IQAir's list. IQAir's live Air Quality and Pollution City Ranking ranks cities based on AQI, or Air Quality Index points. Cities/areas are assigned a series of ranges for how healthy or unhealthy the air currently is. To find your city/area, you'll need to allow IQAir to access your location. Once the system locates you, it'll give you your area's AQI, in addition to which main pollutant is contributing to the pollution level. Ranges include: Good, Moderate, Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups, Unhealthy, Very Unhealthy, and Hazardous. New York City's air on Wednesday is the only city on the entire list given a Hazardous air rating. Canada fires bring dystopian haze, air-quality alerts in US. Is it safe to go outside? Aside from New York City, the next highest U.S. city on the air quality ranking is Detroit, Michigan (23), which claimed 'moderate' air quality levels Wednesday evening. India dominated the top 5, with the cities of Delhi and Kolkata ranking third and fourth, respectively, and claiming Unhealthy air ratings. The second highest city on the list is Dubai, UAE, whose air was ranked unhealthy. Will the level of smoke be dangerous for your health? Here's what the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said people everywhere should know. 'If smoke is thick or becomes thick in your neighborhood, you may want to remain indoors. This is especially true for those with heart disease, respiratory illnesses, the very young, and the elderly. Consider limiting outdoor activity when moderate to heavy smoke is present. Consider relocating temporarily if smoke is present indoors and is making you ill,' CDPHE said. 'Bob's Burgers' actor faces charges in Jan. 6 riot If visibility is less than 5 miles in your neighborhood, the smoke has reached levels that are unhealthy, and you should stay indoors.

Storms move through southern Wisconsin Sunday afternoon before more rain later in the week
Widespread rain showers, and possibly some stronger storms, will move through southern Wisconsin Sunday afternoon before more chances for precipitation later in the week. The line of storms is expected to reach the Madison area between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and move into Milwaukee between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The storms should wrap up by 4 p.m., though scattered rain could develop and continue into the evening hours, National Weather Service meteorologist Kevin Wagner said. "We have a cold front that's pushing through across Wisconsin," Wagner said. "We're getting these showers right along that boundary." A few spots could see stronger storms, with the main concerns being lightning, gusty winds and hail up to a half inch in diameter. The rest of the week has several chances for rain and thunderstorms, including another round of showers Monday afternoon in the Milwaukee area. "Overall, (we're) not expecting too much in the way of a severe threat," Wagner said. "Still can't rule out an isolated stronger storm or two." Tuesday and Wednesday should stay dry and sunny, with a high reaching 84 degrees on Wednesday — by far the warmest day of the week and about 8 degrees above the normal high for June 11. Possible showers and thunderstorms return Wednesday night and continue through Saturday, with about a 50% chance of precipitation each day. It's a too far out to tell if there's any severe potential, Wagner said. "We're kind of in our typical summertime pattern," Wagner said.
