Warm - And Dry - Start To The Week

We've been tracking the amount of rainfall in Sioux Falls & vicinity. Things are slowly adding up as far as rainfall deficits go. We should be at almost 20 inches of rainfall on the year - and here is what we're seeing so far:

We're almost 5 inches below average - and this is without much, if any, rainfall in the forecast over the next few days. On average we should be adding about 0.09" of rainfall per day - so we'll be likely adding over half an inch of rain to the deficit by the start of next week.

The good news for people who don't want rain, and not for anyone needing rain, is that things are looking warmer for the start of this week. Check out a screenshot from our Futurecast computer model:

Warmer weather sticks around - and that cold front you see drawn on that map represents our best chance for some showers toward mid to late-week.

Have a nice evening!
