Sioux Falls, South Dakota – It was another hazy day in KELOLAND, with Canadian wildfire smoke occasionally visible on the surface. The high pressure system that is contributing to this will continue to move east, and the concentration of smoke will gradually decrease at the beginning of the week.
The hazy skies will linger, as will the unsettled weather. Showers and thunderstorms will develop in northeastern KELOLAND by the evening, becoming more widespread overnight. The main threat from these storms may be some pockets of heavy rainfall, but we do not anticipate severe weather.
Otherwise, lows will fall into the 60s, which is about average for this time of year. Most of us will experience light winds, but breezier conditions may persist in central South Dakota.
Tomorrow will be a similar day, with East River temperatures remaining below average and more cloud cover. Central KELOLAND could experience more seasonable temperatures for this time of year, with lighter winds. While the day will be mostly quiet, thunderstorms are possible again tomorrow evening and night in eastern KELOLAND due to a stationary front. Severe weather appears to be unlikely once again.
By Monday, a ridge will form over KELOLAND, keeping us in a southerly flow and bringing humidity back. We’ll keep an eye on it, as higher dew points combined with warming into the 80s and 90s may create more instability for storms to work with this week.
