It's Cold Outside! How Much More Rain?

Well - we are definitely aware of the major changes that have come in the weather department. After 8 days in a row of nearly perfect conditions, we saw some major changes arrive overnight.

Look at this video we made showing just how much rainfall we are looking for out of our Futurecast computer model:

You can see all of the green shaded areas basically showing the best chances for accumulating rainfall. You'll likely see that pocket of no rainfall in eastern SD get filled in a little bit, while the brighter green areas will likely be tempered a bit. Also - you are probably wondering what the deal is with the cold temperatures... If you didn't watch us on KDLT on Friday night, you would have missed our video of where the jetstream is/will be. Look at this one to see what is actually happening outside:

Take a moment and check out our blog post showing the jetstream from Friday night - and compare to now. Big changes out there - and that pocket showing up right over our area is a cold dip in the jetstream... we don't kick that out for a couple of days, so stay tuned!
