Sioux Falls, SD – South Dakota residents should brace for a change in the weather this week as isolated showers and potentially heavy rain are expected to move in by Wednesday night. After a relatively calm start to the week, with partly sunny skies and temperatures reaching into the upper 70s to low 80s, the weather is set to take a stormy turn.
According to the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls, a southeast breeze will warm temperatures throughout Tuesday, with early morning fog dissipating. However, by Wednesday, conditions will shift as a weather system brings periods of showers and scattered storms into the region. Some of these storms could be strong, with the potential for locally heavy rain. Isolated stronger storms may also bring hail and damaging winds, making travel and outdoor activities hazardous.
The chance for showers and storms will continue into Thursday, though conditions are expected to improve as the day progresses, leading to mostly sunny skies by Friday. Temperatures will remain seasonably warm throughout the week, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s and lows dipping into the 60s at night.
Residents should stay updated on weather alerts and be prepared for changing conditions, particularly on Wednesday night when storms are most likely to occur. The weekend looks to bring a return to more stable weather, with sunny skies expected on both Saturday and Sunday, accompanied by comfortable temperatures in the low 80s.
