More showers ahead for KELOLAND; Warmer weather late this week
Good morning KELOLAND! We have a sunny start to the day in Aberdeen and temperatures East River today should be few degrees warmer when compared to yesterday.
Rain continues to develop in southwestern SD. As of 7am, rain totals over .25″ are coming in around Custer and Pine Ridge. We expect more rain chances during the day.
You can see the radar loop in the video below from early Sunday morning.
That rain will stay west of Sioux Falls today. Our hour-by-hour planner shows some nice warming with highs near 70 this afternoon.
Take a look at Futurecast on the video below. The best rain chances will stay in the far southwest today, but those rain chances will start to move slowly east on Memorial Day. We expect temperatures to hold in the 50s and 60s tomorrow as clouds increase in the Sioux Falls area. Rain showers will continue to expand eastward into Tuesday and Wednesday as an upper-level low pressure system spins over our region. This will keep temperatures below average for this time of the year.
That upper-level low will move eastward toward Thursday, allowing a milder pattern to arrive across KELOLAND. We expect a nice warm-up later this week as high pressure moving into our region. It is interesting, however, to see another low diving into the intermountain west by early next week. This may be start of another active weather pattern across KELOLAND, with more thunderstorms expected in this type of pattern as we connect to deeper moisture to our south. We'll continue to watch the details in the coming days.
Here are the details of the forecast.

Our View: As the heat spikes, so do drownings
Triple-digit temperatures are predicted for this weekend. Beyond that, the days are expected to be not much cooler. It is a reminder that the blistering Bakersfield summer has started, and residents and visitors will look to water for relief. But danger lurks in the many local swimming pools and the even bigger attraction, the Kern River. Urging pool safety during a recent press conference, Kern County health officials promoted the department's Water Watcher program, which calls for designating adults to always keep close tabs on children frolicking around backyard pools. They cited federal findings that drowning is the leading cause of unintentional, injury-related death for children ages 1 to 4. On average, 350 children under the age of 5 lose their lives to drowning every year in the United States. Within the past five years, 16 children in Kern County have lost their lives to drowning: two in the Kern River, two in bathtubs and 12 in swimming pools. In advance of the Memorial Day Weekend last month, county officials performed a grisly annual tradition — updating Kern Canyon entry signs to warn of the Kern River's danger. This year, the number of drownings posted on the signs went from 334 to 342. Eight people were taken by the Kern in 2024. Last year's July 4th holiday was particularly deadly. Four people drowned. The count, which began in 1968, doesn't include people who died in the upper Kern River, in Tulare County, which doesn't keep drowning statistics on its section of river. It also doesn't include people who are still missing and presumed dead in the river. 'We tell the public this every year: The Kern River is dangerous,' said Sgt. Rodney Jones, who oversees the Kern County Sheriff's Office's search and rescue division. 'Do not go in it without professional guides or gear.' The water is cold and deceptively fast with numerous hidden hazards — branches, rocks, debris — that can snag you, trap you and pull you under, he said. The division posts additional search and rescue teams on holidays along the river to respond to emergencies and remind people about the dangers. Asked if Kern officials would consider closing off the river, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood responded with a firm NO. 'The river is a public place and there's way too many access points for us to patrol,' he said. 'You can't legislate stupidity. If you need to be told to stay out of that river, there's something wrong with you.' Youngblood is right. It's up to all of us to heed repeated warnings and keep ourselves, families and friends safe. ■ Watch children closely. Never let them into the river unattended. ■ Do not go in the river if you can't swim. ■ Use adequate flotation devices, not drug store floaties. ■ Make sure someone in your party can contact 911. Service in the canyon is sketchy. ■ Alcohol (or other mind-altering substances) do not mix well with the river. Several river rafting companies operate along the Kern. They offer safe and varying trips — depending on people's interests and experience. SJV Water, a local news outlet that covers water issues, reports that with less snowfall this year, the river will be running lower than in recent past years. But even though the water flow is lower, Jones noted that most people are not able to climb out if they are trapped on a rock. As evidence, on Sunday a man was found dead in the river. The man had gone missing after swimming in Isabella Lake without a flotation device. Just a few days later, a teenage girl was rescued from a tree in the river at Hart Park, just 90 minutes after another person was rescued from the same area, according to the Kern County Sheriff's Office. They were brought to shore uninjured. Again, the Kern County Sheriff's Office urged the public to always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved lifejacket when in or near the river. 'Despite appearing calm in some areas, the river's cold temperatures, swift currents and hidden hazards can quickly turn deadly,' KCSO once again warned in a news release.

Memphis Pride Fest, Pride Parade canceled; postponed until 2026
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Mid-South Pride has announced that Memphis Pride Fest and the Mid-South Pride Parade have been canceled. In a social media post, the Foundation announced that the decision was made due to the 'risk of severe weather.' 'This decision wasn't made lightly, but the safety of our community comes first, always. While we won't be gathering as planned this weekend, the spirit behind this celebration is still very much alive,' they said in the post. They also announced that the Memphis Pride Parade has been postponed until 2026. Fun events happening in Memphis this weekend 'Why? Because your safety always comes first. Due to today's weather and conditions along the parade route, continuing with the parade just wouldn't be safe for attendees, performers, and volunteers,' they said in the social media post. The Foundation said that despite the setback, they are 'thinking ahead and exploring ways to reconnect soon.' They also advised people to keep up with their social channels for updates and next steps. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
