Rain chance today far west; Turning windy, hot, and dry this weekend
As we begin the forecast, some of you have expressed more information on the drought situation across the plains we enter a mainly dry 7-day forecast. Check out this special video post for more details on the seasonal drought outlook and the factors to watch in the coming weeks.
In the short-term forecast, warm temperatures and mainly dry conditions are the big headlines to watch in KELOLAND over the next few days. We have lots of sunshine to start the day in Aberdeen.
Our 24-hour rain reports show how scattered showers and thundershower clipped western SD yesterday.
That rain could redevelop again in patches in western SD. Notice how the rain is moving from south to north, not west to east.
Clouds in Rapid City will keep temperatures cooler in the 60s. Meanwhile, Sioux Falls and Aberdeen will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Highs tomorrow will average in the 70s as the upper level disturbance to our southwest pulls away from western KELOLAND. After that, expect warmer temperatures heading into Mother's Day Weekend.
The weather pattern continue to feature the strong influence of high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere. We will warm into early next week with widespread 80s and 90s expected in KELOLAND. A storm system should enter KELOLAND around Wednesday of next week. We'll watch and see if it brings storms and rain chances to portions of the northern plains.
Here are the details of the forecast.

Friday, June 6 forecast: Another stormy start to Saturday for some
We started the day with another round of rain and thunder. Heavy rainfall came with the risk of flooding, and there was some isolated severe weather as well. The most significant of which was in Wheaton, MO, where damage was confirmed to be caused by a tornado. The storms cleared out by afternoon and we even managed to end the day with some sun, but it looks like another stormy start is on the way. Mother Nature is following the same script for Saturday morning with a wave of storms expected to organize overnight to the west. The storms will sweep along a frontal boundary from Oklahoma into Arkansas near sunrise. The overall track looks a little further south than Friday morning's round, and this will likely shift the risk of severe weather for Saturday morning a bit further south as well. Flooding will be the main threat, mainly across Northern Arkansas, where rainfall amounts will be highest. In addition to a flooding risk, we will have a risk of damaging winds, including a limited tornado risk, mainly south of a Pineville, MO, to Harrison, AR, line. Storms should make a quick exit later in the morning, with some sun trying to develop during the afternoon. Another system passing by to the north could trigger some spotty showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. A few of these could produce some isolated hail or wind, mainly closer to the St. Louis area. Sunday will get off to a quiet start with areas of fog. Sunnier skies and warmer temperatures can be expected ahead of another wave of thunderstorms that will move in from the northwest along a cold front. A few of these storms could also produce some isolated hail or wind. We will start drying out on Monday. A break from the spring monsoon will be coming for the upcoming work week. The quieter stretch will come with less humidity and dry conditions. We'll likely need the umbrellas again, though by the end of next week.

2 North Carolina river sites fail E. coli testing this week after 12 last week
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — A nonprofit group that tests more than 50 sites weekly along North Carolina rivers reported Friday just two areas failed for testing of fecal bacteria levels this week. Sound Rivers monitors and tests rivers throughout the summer from the Durham and Raleigh area to the coast. This week, nearly all river sites were clear after 12 river areas failed testing last week. 'Last week's results were likely due to the rain we had prior to testing,' Clay Barber, Sound Rivers' program director, said in a news release. 'Any time there's a hard rain, water quality can be affected by the influx of stormwater into the waterways because stormwater runoff can carry some pretty nasty stuff off the land and into the water.' Don't swim in these North Carolina river areas; 12 sites fail fecal bacteria testing, group says The upper Neuse River watershed had no sites that failed for E. coli testing, the group said. However, two sites in the lower Neuse River watershed failed — meaning there were elevated levels of fecal bacteria, which brings an increased risk of gastrointestinal illness, Sound Rivers reported. The Maple Cypress Boat Ramp in Grifton failed along with Slocum Creek near Havelock, the group said. Several areas closer to the coast passed the testing, but five areas at Lake Royale were not checked this week. In areas of salt water, Sound Rivers checks for enterococci for their Swim Guide. Five sites were not texted in the upper Neuse this week: Clayton River Walk, Neuse Golf Club, Smithfield Town Commons, Hickory Hill, and Ledge Rock. Based in Raleigh, New Bern, and Washington, Sound Rivers has worked for more than 40 years to help improve the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico rivers. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
