The risk of severe weather is highest south of Sioux Falls late this afternoon and early this evening. Large hail and damaging winds are the main threats.

Take a look at Futurecast below. The challenge today will be pinpointing the most likely segments of severe weather and locally heavy rainfall. We anticipate more development in the southeast this afternoon, with moderate amounts of unstable air moving into the Sioux City area. As a result, more thunderstorms will develop along and just north of that boundary. Folks in Yankton, Vermillion, Canton, Sioux Center, and Rock Rapids may run a higher chance of seeing more impactful storms. We’ll keep a close eye on the developing trends through the day.

Here are the details of the forecast.
