Unsettled weather will return to the region on Thursday. Scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to move through northeast Wyoming, the Black Hills, and southwest South Dakota beginning late Thursday morning and continuing through the afternoon. Severe weather is not expected. Overnight lows will fall into the 20s and 30s, leading to a cool start to the day. Temperatures will rebound into the low to mid‑60s on Thursday, which will help support the development of these showers and isolated storms. Coverage will remain scattered, and not all locations will see measurable precipitation.
