Storm Center PM Update: Unseasonable Warmth by the Weekend
SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) — Once again, we have been treated to a wonderful day to get outside, but I will also say this much: This will likely be the 'coolest' day that we see until the week after next.
As of 2 pm CDT Wednesday
While we didn't have much to worry about in terms of active weather, we have at least seen some cloud cover today across KELOLAND. That, along with a more easterly wind, has helped keep temperatures in check just a little bit compared to yesterday.
By the time Thursday rolls around, we're back to square one with sunshine and 80s for highs. The one exception may be out west on Friday with the chance to see some scattered showers as a frontal boundary attempts to make its presence known. A few sprinkles are also possible to the northeast.
After that, we have three key words for the weekend and start of next week: Dry, windy, and hot. A robust ridge of high pressure sets up shop and keeps us feeling like we're in the middle of July rather than Mother's Day weekend. On the plus side, we don't have to worry about rain on Sunday…but we do need to watch the record books as several record highs may be in jeopardy through at least next Monday and even into the middle of next week for some.
By next Wednesday, we do have a few things to watch. First, some 70s come back for highs in western KELOLAND while we hold in the mid to upper 80s to the east. Second, chances for rain and even a few storms pop up during this time…which is good news considering all the help we need to get out of the long-standing drought we've dealt with.
Here's a look at your extended 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.
