Dry Summer... And Dry Weather Continues

As I write this we have some light showers around the Yankton area and eastward - but that's it. Not much going on rain-wise, and we're not seeing much in the way of rainfall in our forecast until about next Wednesday.

That image above is showing what we're seeing as far as a rainfall deficit in the Sioux Falls area, but some areas (like Mitchell) are seeing positive numbers for rainfall, with an almost 0.7" *surplus* of rainfall in the Mitchell area.

Chilly Saturday Night

On a different note, we have some *very* chilly temperatures as a possibility for Saturday night's lows. Right now we're looking for lower to middle 40s for most of us.

Normally we show you daytime highs on the type of map above - but this is computer-model forecasted *low* temperatures. They get down into the THIRTIES for parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin and even into northern Iowa. Whether or not that will actually happen remains to be seen, but just the chance of that happening has me starting to think about fall...

Have a good weekend!
