Storm Center PM Update: Warmth Returns by Tuesday; Rain to Follow
SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) — It has been a rather windy day at times, but it has also been mainly quiet otherwise. We've also dealt with another round of smoky skies across a good portion of the region due to Canadian wildfires…with more possible at times on Monday. A wind advisory is in place through Sunday evening from northwestern South Dakota extending south and east through the Sioux Falls area. Gusts may reach and exceed 50 to 55 mph. While much of the morning and afternoon have been quiet, 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. A few of these showers may try to head into southeastern KELOLAND south of Highway 14 overnight, 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, including along the I-29 corridor on Monday. 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. Of the three day window between Wednesday and Friday, Thursday holds the best overall chance to see some unsettled weather in KELOLAND. Beginning on Tuesday, we'll have some typical June temperatures to enjoy…with highs in the 80s and low 90s at times for several portions of the region. Though a few days may be cooler, that will be due to the aforementioned rain. Beyond the 7 day forecast, odds for above average temperatures are favored.

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.
