Warmer Temperatures Incoming

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) -- Cloud cover is going to clear out for tonight across much of the area and while it’ll be another cooler night we have some warmer air on the way for Tuesday and Wednesday.

We’ll see sunshine returning for much of the area on Tuesday with highs topping out in the 30s for much of the region, but we’ll even get to some 40s and yes some 50s in central and western South Dakota. This will aid in some snow melting and getting rid of some of the stubborn ice on the roads. Wednesday will even be a few degrees warmer yet, but the wind will begin to pick up.

We’ve declared Thursday a First Alert Weather Day across the area as we’ll be tracking another round of moisture which will look to begin as rain for some but eventually turn into all snow. This is targeting southeastern South Dakota and portions of western Minnesota and Iowa to bring the higher totals. Stay with us as we get closer to this to pinpoint exact totals. Windy conditions will persist for all leading to areas of blowing snow.

It will turn much colder behind that cold front. Highs drop back down into the 20s by the end of the week and into next weekend.
