Rain Winding Down

Looks like the steady rain around the Sioux Falls metro is finaly coming to an end! Still expecting some scattered light showers throughout the day but not anticipating anywhere near the amounts we saw yesterday. The rainfall totals from here out should stay under a quarter of an inch. This storm has left its mark on the southeast though, with widespread areas of 1.50 to 3.00 inches of rain. Local areas saw even more then that; Orange City has had 3.56 inches. But, the heavy rain mainly stayed in the Southeast as most totals up in the Northeast were from a quarter to three quarters of an inch. And the West hardly saw anything at all with Pierre reporting just .13" from this storm.

Now our focus turns toward the weekend where it looks like we will have one mild day and another cool day. The mild day looks to be Saturday with 850mb temps very warm which should help us get into the 50's and 60's.

But unfortunately its not going to last long as a very fast moving Alberta Clipper will be making its way through Saturday night and dropping 850mb temperatures drastically to where our highs will be back in the low to mid 40's.
