Hot This Weekend??

Not a whole lot to talk about today other then the very pleasant temperatures we are expecting. Therefore, I want to look ahead to the weekend where we have the potential to see the warmest weather so far this year. Here is a look at what some of the models are predicting for temperatures on Saturday.Look at the widespread mid and upper 90's for the eastern half of South Dakota. If this were to come true, it would be the warmest day in South Dakota as a whole in a couple of years.

This is a little bit different model. The red line is the temperature line which shows it climbing to over 100 degrees on Saturday in Sioux Falls. The last time we managed to hit 100 degrees was back in July of 2006 so it's been a while. The good news for those that don't like the heat (including myself) is that a lot of components have to come together for this to happen. As of right now, I would say that it's a pretty slim possibility. But I have been surprised before.
