Tracking Multiple Rounds of Rain

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) -- Temperatures have been much warmer the last few days, but that trend won’t last much longer as we’re tracking a series of disturbances bringing multiple rounds of precipitation to the area.

We will start to see chances for showers and thunderstorms increasing Wednesday afternoon and into Wednesday evening. They will be very spotty and be confined to central and northern South Dakota. As we go into Thursday, coverage will expand in the rain and again be focused in central and northern South Dakota.

Right now, it looks like we may clear out a little bit during the day Friday before more chances for showers and thunderstorms Friday evening and Friday night. Highs will drop down into the 70s. We’ll keep a chance for showers and thunderstorms through Saturday, Saturday night, and even into Sunday for some. By the time the rain wraps up over the weekend, we could see 2 to 3 inches of rain.

Next week is looking mainly dry. We’ll see partly cloudy conditions with high temperatures mainly in the low to mid 70s.
