Nice Today But Next Storm is on the Way

Nice today as lots of sunshine will accompany some very nice temperatures with many areas back above 80 degrees today. Also, the humidity levels will be very low through much of the day and won't be as windy as it was yesterday.

But the atmosphere will likely begin to change very quickly toward the sunset hour as storms are expected to develop in south central SD and continue to move east and increase in coverage in the overnight hours. However, the amount of rainfall that many areas see will depend on just how much low level moisture returns to the area tonight through tomorrow. The models are suggesting a very quick return with dew points near 70 as early as mid day tomorrow. Here is a look at the 12 hour increments starting tonight at 7pm and going through 7am Thursday.
Total rainfall amounts from this storm will be fairly light for the most part. However, areas in the east will likely see the most with some areas picking up more than an inch of rain. The Hydrological Prediction Center's forecast shows that the storm will likely drop some good rain the further east you go.~KDLT Meteorologist Cody Matz
