Sioux Falls, SD – A cold front moving into the region Tuesday night is expected to bring rain showers and isolated thunderstorms to South Dakota and northwest Iowa. Rainfall will generally be light, with most areas expected to receive less than a quarter-inch of rain.

According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Sioux Falls, higher rainfall amounts could occur if thunderstorms develop. The best chance for storms, as well as increased rainfall, lies in northwest Iowa. Areas that experience thunderstorms may receive locally heavier rain, while surrounding locations will likely see lighter showers.

The cold front will arrive late Tuesday, creating conditions favorable for isolated storms in some areas. Residents in affected regions should monitor local forecasts for updates as weather patterns evolve. Any rainfall could offer a slight reprieve from current dry conditions, though totals are expected to be modest.

Local agencies encourage drivers to stay alert for slick roadways due to rain, particularly in areas that experience thunderstorms.
