Dangerous Heat Ahead

Upcoming Radar Outage

We will see one last day of milder weather on Saturday before dangerous heat and humidity build in for Sunday through Independence Day. Starting Sunday, expect daily afternoon through early evening heat index readings to peak 90 to 105°. Warm overnight lows will provide little relief from the heat. Begin planning now to avoid heat impacts this weekend and next week.

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.
