*NICE* Warm-up On The Way

Sick of winds and cold weather? Well, you're probably at least sick of the winds after gusts around the state ranged from 73mph in Rapid City to 63mph in Mitchell and 59mph in Sioux Falls. After night, as Cody mentioned below this post, you'll likely be sick of cold weather with temperatures likely reaching into the teens overnight. The good news? 60s and even 70s for a few people are on the way for Wednesday, with a day in the 50s before that.


You can see from that picture above some of the temperatures expected (this according to the computer models, but Cody and I are both in pretty much basic agreement with the warm-up). They are looking nice - and all of this with an average high of 54 and low of 29. Quite the swings we have been getting lately; which aren't too unusual. It is for that reason that you will not usually hear me use the term "normal" when describing average temperatures. Fall gives us these averages due to the rapid swings up and down temperature-wise and then the average is what we talk about. If you get a low of 17 one night and a low of 41 the next, the average low for those two nights becomes 29. Just something to keep in mind next time you hear any of us at KDLT talking about average types of weather. Stay warm tonight!
