SIoux Falls, SD (KELo) -- According to Meteorologist Scot Mundt, we will shortly return to warmer and drier conditions.
Although the upcoming weekend and early part of next week appear cooler, temperatures are expected to rise significantly as we move further into next week.
Yet another gray, chilly, and moist day in KELOLAND. A blend of winter precipitation swept across the region, keeping temperatures significantly lower than usual. Despite clear skies forecasted for this weekend and into early next week, the mercury will continue to hover beneath normal levels; however, those cooler conditions are expected to shift shortly.
Rather than having a dip in the jet stream in the southwestern part of the United States, which led to our recent active weather phase lasting for several weeks, we will shift back to a northwesterly airflow in the atmosphere. As you might recall, this was the configuration dominating most of the winter season.
When we modify the weather patterns, things will gradually heat up, but this won't occur until midway through next week. At that point, you should anticipate consistently high temperatures surpassing averages. Expect around 60 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday, potentially reaching into the 70s as we progress further into the latter part of the week and heading towards the upcoming weekend. Just remember, typical peak temperatures for this time would hover between the middle 50s and close to 60 degrees; thus, our forecast indicates conditions significantly warmer than usual.
However, a northwesterly airflow reduces our likelihood of precipitation since we're isolated from significant moisture sources. Thus, anticipate primarily clear skies accompanied by milder temperatures.
