Storm Center PM Update: Windy and Cooler Start to the Week
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — It was a warm day across KELOLAND and as a cold front passes through, shower and thunderstorm chances are going to increase for the evening. Portions of northeastern KELOLAND are in a marginal risk for severe weather as isolated, strong wind gusts and hail are the main hazards with stronger storms. The broken line of showers and thunderstorms will push eastward and into Minnesota by the overnight hours. Spotty rain chances will linger in West River into Sunday as the low pressure system tries to move off. Behind the front, winds will begin to turn to the northwest and temperatures will cool into the 40s and 50s tonight. The wind will draw back smoke from wildfires into our area and that will linger into tomorrow. While most of it will be aloft, it could get near the surface at times. Stronger winds will start to build in tomorrow morning. Widespread gusts up to 40 MPH are possible across KELOLAND by the afternoon before calming down for tomorrow night. The smoke will also decrease with the wind. We will take two steps back with our temperatures as we return to below average for this time of year. It won't last for too long though as an upper level ridge moves in for the middle of the week. It will feel more like summer with mostly dry conditions and highs in the mid to upper 80s. An unsettled pattern will try to return as we go into the end of next week. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

South Dakota's fall pheasant outlook is ‘very positive'
PIERRE, S.D. (KELO) — The forecast looks good for another strong season of pheasant hunting in South Dakota this fall, according to a state Game, Fish and Parks Department official. This comes after a 2024 harvest estimated at 1.3 million roosters, which was the highest in four years and once again the best in the nation. GFP wants more river otters trapped in eastern counties A mild winter suggested that more hens were available for breeding this spring, and average temperatures and moisture during April and May produced good habitat for nesting and brood raising, said Alex Solem, a Huron-based senior biologist for the state Wildlife Division. 'We're set for hopefully a very productive fall with good bird numbers,' Solem said Friday. 'We're cautiously optimistic that we're going to have a very good fall.' His comments accompanied a presentation on Friday to the state Game, Fish and Parks Commission during its meeting in Aberdeen. Solem said the 2024 harvest, based on a sample of 15,000 hunters, was a 5.5% increase over the previous year. He said the 140,262 hunters who took to the field were up 3.6%. They included 58,195 residents, which were up 1.2%, and 82,607 nonresidents, up 5.3%. 'I can't stress how good last season was,' Solem said, pointing out that South Dakota saw more roosters bagged in the first two weeks of the regular season than almost all other states combined. Hunters also took an estimated 98,962 prairie grouse, a 42% increase from 2023, which Solem described as 'crazy.' There were additional hunting days in January, but the grouse harvest occurs primarily in September and October. He said the 19,223 hunters were up 11.9%, with 10,898 residents, which were up 13.3%, and 8,325 nonresidents, up 10%. It was the fourth consecutive year of higher harvest. Solem gave the commission an overview of how conditions can shape pheasant numbers. He said weather plays a major factor, with hen survival affected by the severity of winter, while spring moisture and temperature affect nesting. 'Usually cool damp conditions can hamper nest success on the landscape,' he said, with brood survival depending on habitat conditions and on insect abundance that provide protein for chicks to reach adulthood. But more than anything, habitat is key to the long-term population trends, according to Solem. He said pheasants need grass, and having CRP acres and rotational grazing are important. Solem said cumulative snowfall November to March is a predictor; the more snow, the more impact on pheasant abundance. Mild winters lead to better hen survival, according to Solem. He said South Dakota had 'a phenomenal mild winter' in many places with below normal snowfall. 'The mild winter can certainly help us,' he said. But that meant other sources of moisture were needed to get grass growing to provide good cover, according to Solem. April and May moisture needs to be right between 4 to 6 inches to initiate cover. 'We've had really good timely rains,' he said. April and May temperatures also matter, with higher average cumulative temps tending to match with better production, according to Solem. 'The grass is responding great. It's going very, very well,' he said. Damage from flash flooding and hailstorms can reduce population in local areas, but quality habitat can mitigate extreme weather events, Solem said. Having good quality winter habitat provides thermal cover and allows pheasants to avoid predators, he said. GFP Secretary Kevin Robling recognized the department's habitat staff for their efforts and the private landowners and ag producers throughout South Dakota who cooperate and set aside acres for wildlife management purposes through rotational grazing. He said South Dakota has 'a land ethic second to none across the nation' and the pheasant production reflects that. 'It has a lot to do with our ag producers and landowners across South Dakota,' Robling said. 'We thank them.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Summer heat on the way
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — We've had some cooler temperatures and cloudy skies, but if you're looking for summer heat, no worries. Meteorologist Scot Mundt has an update on the summer forecast. Public safety alert issued for 'dangerous subject' at large KELOLAND's been cooler than average for the past couple of days. Dating back to May 16th, Sioux Falls has had 16 of those 20 days with below average highs which includes a two week stretch from May 16-29. That two-week stretch averaged 62 degrees for a high, a little more than 10 degrees below the climate average. But I think things will soon change. We'll watch Texas for heat to expand as we head into the second half of June. At the same time, the jet stream will retreat north and help the heat expand as we get into July. At the same time, much drier air will prevail for much of the central and northern plains. And the European seasonal model agrees. This is what it shows for temperatures for June through August: above average. And this is the look at rainfall, below average rain can be expected from Texas north into the central and northern plains and east toward the Great Lakes. So I still think it's important to take any rain you can get as we continue for periods of rain into the first half of the weekend. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
