Scattered Thuderstorms Through the Weekend

Looks like the weather pattern has changed from the last few days because it will be cooler and there will be some rain around. Doesn't look like a wash out on any day but you may have to dodge a shower or thunderstorm on occasion. The Hydrological Prediction Center (HPC) makes a forecast for amount of precipitation expected over the next five days. The image is located below.Even though we aren't expecting a wash out, it does look like some of that rainfall will begin to add up as many areas can expect one to two inches of rain between now and Tuesday morning. That may sound crummy but that's actually good news for farmers because many of them have been able to get their crops in the ground and now they are looking for some rainfall. It will also be good to get some rain because Sioux Falls is well below average on the year. According to the graph below, we are already over 2 inches of rain below average so some more is needed.
