Storm Center PM Update: Storms Possible Monday; Cooler Tuesday
SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) — While we've had smoky skies over most of KELOLAND, we've still been able to get in on a warm day. It's little solace, considering we've also had to deal with poor air quality for a better part of the day. The good news is that we get a frontal boundary to come along by Monday to help sweep this smoke out of the region…so air quality is expected to improve as we head beyond the Monday outlook. The bad news is that we'll have to contend with showers and thunderstorms…especially in the second half of the day. Some of those storms may become strong to severe in central and eastern KELOLAND. A 'Slight Risk' for severe weather is in place for most of eastern and southeastern South Dakota, the Marshall and Luverne areas in Minnesota, and portions of northwestern Iowa. A 'Marginal Risk' surrounds that for areas around Mission, Redfield, Sisseton, and Worthington. Damaging gusts and large hail are the main concerns, though there's always a non-zero isolated tornado risk. Please stay weather aware. Showers and a storm or two may linger through the first half of the day on Tuesday to the east and southeast, while West River locations get in on a pretty quiet and pleasant day with cooler temperatures. The pattern flips on Wednesday, with a mainly quiet day East River and scattered showers moving back into the picture in central and western KELOLAND. Daily chances for showers and a storm or two on both sides of the river will return by Thursday and stick around through the first half of the weekend. While no day is a total wash-out, you'll want to watch and see if you need to bring an umbrella where you go. All the while, temperatures will be much closer to average as we head through the second half of the week and into next weekend. Beyond the 7 day forecast, odds for near to above average temperatures are favored West River, while we have better chances to remain near average to the east.
