Much warmer weather ahead this weekend; Thunderstorms next week
Good morning KELOLAND! We are starting the day with some sunshine and cool temperatures across the region. However, more isolated t-showers could develop today in the far southeast, a trend we'll watch later today.
Highs yesterday bounced back into the 60s for much of KELOLAND. That's still below normal for this time of the year.
We also tracked scattered rain in response to that slow-moving upper level low moving across the region.
Temperatures should be a few degrees warmer today in Sioux Falls, even with the isolated rain chances.
You can see those rain chances on Futurecast below. The forecast for tomorrow is looking warmer and dry across the region. Warmer weather will be the big weather story for the weekend. However, thunderstorms will enter the picture by Monday into Tuesday.
Take a look at the upper air pattern as we head into next week. We have a number of interesting factors that will be coming together to support the development of thunderstorms. Deep moisture will likely flow into KELOLAND from both the gulf coast and the desert southwest as tropical moisture swings into the region from Baja California. With plenty of instability in place ahead of a slow-moving cold front Monday afternoon into Tuesday, the stage will be set for some decent thunderstorms. Locally heavy rain could develop as well, but we still have more details to watch. Severe weather is also quite possible late Monday. Stay tuned.
Here are the details of the forecast.

Mentor honored for his big commitment to youth empowerment
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida celebrated a volunteer who has gone above and beyond in fulfilling the organization's mission of empowering youth in Bay County. The '2025 Virginia Thomas Big of the Year Award' in Bay County recognizes a mentor who exemplifies extraordinary commitment, compassion, and service to the youth in the community. The non-profit organization named Gage Proctor as this year's recipient. Proctor has been a mentor or 'Big Brother' with the organization since 2021. Over the past three and a half years, Proctor has helped his mentee, or 'Little Brother,' Khayman, academically and socially. Proctor was surprised and humbled by the honor. He said this is by far the easiest award he's ever earned. 'This was an easy award to win because I just get to hang out with him [Khayman] and it's fun. And it's a good time. It's always been a good time,' said Proctor. Khayman's family called Proctor 'one in a million.'

The boats that took soldiers to the D-day beaches
DILLSBURG, Pa. (WHTM)– Their official designation was Landing Craft Vehicle and Personnel, or LCVP. Usually, they were just called Landing Craft. Sometimes they were called Higgins boats after their creator. By any name, they changed the way war was fought, shuttling troops to beaches across the Pacific – and across the English Channel on D-Day. In 2006 Reporter Rob Dixon and I did a story about a business in Dillsburg restoring three Higgins boats to their WWII condition, and got to meet some veterans who built and piloted the boats. The boats were the brainchild of Andrew Jackson Higgins of New Orleans, who was building shallow-water boats for old and gas exploration in the bayous of Louisiana when World War II broke out. He adapted his designs for landing craft. The first versions were not that great; the designs called for soldiers to jump over the sides of the boats, exposing them to enemy fire. But the LCVP had a ramp at the bow. When the boat 'hit the beach,' the ramp dropped and soldiers dashed out as fast as possible. Christian Lamb made maps to guide the crews landing crafts at Normandy on D-Day Until the Higgins boat, invasions involved navies attacking heavily defended ports. But Higgins' landing craft made it possible to unload entire armies on open beaches, forcing defenders to stretch resources to cover areas that wouldn't have been considered danger points before. Many of the LCVPs were built at the Higgins factories and then disassembled. Shipped in pieces, they took up less space in freighters, which meant the freighter could carry more of them. They were then reassembled at their destination. WWII-era landing craft emerging from Lake Mead Andrew Higgins was not only ahead of his time in boat design, but in the workplace as well. Higgins Industries had the first racially integrated workforce in New Orleans. He hired African Americans, undrafted white males, women, the elderly, and the handicapped, all of whom were paid equal wages according to their job rating. By the war's end, Higgins Industries had produced over 20,000 ships, including various types of landing crafts and PT boats. General Dwight Eisenhower called him 'The man who won the war for us.' Adolf Hitler (probably not very happily) called him 'The new Noah.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
