Weather Story

Significant Heat through Next Week

Isolated Severe Storms Possible Late Tonight

Upcoming Radar Outage

Daily highs mainly in the 90s accompanied by increased humidity will result in Moderate to Major Heat Risk through the upcoming week. While details vary from one point to another, in general temperatures will peak Sunday into Monday, then ease slightly Tuesday and Wednesday before readings increase again from Thursday onward. With this prolonged stretch of heat and humidity, be sure to take precautions to protect yourself and others from potential heat illness.

Strong storms will push out of the western Dakotas and Nebraska later tonight and bring a threat for some isolated severe weather in and near Southeast SD. Storms are not expected until after midnight, and mainly later at night into early Sunday morning, with a chance for large hail and damaging wind. Make sure you have reliable ways to receive warning information at night.

ATTENTION: The Sioux Falls weather radar will be offline for up to 1 week beginning Wednesday, June 24th for replacement of the radar dome panels and repainting of the dome. This outage cannot be postponed for severe weather, and once offline, the radar cannot be returned to service until this work is completed. Radar data can still be accessed by surrounding radars at Aberdeen (KABR), Des Moines (KDMX), Rapid City (KUDX), North Platte (KLNX), Chanhassen (KMPX), and Omaha (KOAX). We apologize for any disruption this may cause.
