THREATS FOR HEAVY RAIN THIS WEEKEND 🌧️

Saturday evening will bring heavy rain to parts of Nebraska and southwest Iowa, but then the threats for heavy rain increases on Sunday in South Dakota. There may be some isolated flooding depending on if showers/storms form over the same places or stall over the same places.

Make sure to remain weather aware this weekend!

SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SATURDAY ⛈️

If you have any travel plans into parts of western South Dakota, southwestern Iowa, or Nebraska - make sure you’re staying weather aware! Severe storms will be possible tomorrow.

BENEFICIAL RAINFALL INCOMING! 🌧️

We have rainfall moving in that will be accumulating quite a bit for the weekend! Most of what you’re seeing on this map will fall Saturday night and into Sunday.

Good morning and happy Friday! You know it’s going to be a good day when we’ve got views like this!

It was a little more faint tonight, but you could see Jupiter barely along with the moon to the northwest!

LATEST RAINFALL FORECAST

We’re going to continue to see some spotty showers move in this evening and again tomorrow, but better chances for Saturday evening and into Sunday.

The chances for heavier rain have increased to the south on Saturday evening especially.

After a rainy and cooler Sunday, we’ll have more chances for rain next week too. We need as much as we can get!

THE JULY OUTLOOKS ARE HERE!

The latest outlooks released by the Climate Prediction Center for July looks to favor near normal temperatures and near normal to slightly below normal precipitation in northern South Dakota and into North Dakota.

LATEST DROUGHT MONITOR

As you’d imagine, the drought conditions have worsened over much of the region. The good news is we do have some rain in the forecast for this weekend which does look to target areas along and south of I-90 in some of the hardest hit areas.
