SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) — The wind certainly made itself known across the region, but it also brought a lot of heat to the table as well.
Windy weather sticks around as we head into the night, but we also have something else to watch. Scattered showers and a few storms are possible overnight into early Thursday. Some of these storms may be strong to severe as well.
A “Marginal Risk” is in place tonight for a good portion of the region. Damaging wind gusts and hail are the main concerns. Please stay weather aware through the night.
Thursday also features a chance for some showers and thunderstorms. One round is possible to the northeast and southeast early in the morning, with a second chance later in the day as a cold front pushes eastward. The latter chance has better opportunities for NW Iowa and portions of SW Minnesota.
That lines up with the “Slight Risk” for severe weather for the aforementioned areas on Thursday. A “Marginal Risk is in place from Sioux Falls into western Nobles County as well as extreme southeastern South Dakota and the Marshall area. Wind and hail are the main concerns, but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.
East River locations get a small break on Friday, while some rain and snow showers are possible out west. Better chances for rain arrive overnight Saturday into Sunday and lingering into Monday to the east. The midweek outlook, overall, is quieter.
Along the way, temperatures fall back into the 50s by the weekend with a few low 60s here and there…with 50s holding steady into the first half of next week.
