SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Here are some of the top weather stories we are covering on this Thursday.

Rain continues to fall across the region. The map below shows the 24 hour rain totals. Sioux Falls has picked about 1.25″ as of 7am.

This map shows the accumulated rain the past 5 days.

The rain and the clouds will keep temperatures in the 70s this afternoon for Sioux Falls once again.

Futurecast shows the rain departing this morning, with warmer weather returning to western SD. Temperatures should return to the 80s in western SD. Overnight looks quiet, with warmer weather expected tomorrow. Late day scattered storms are expected in central SD, some of which may turn strong to severe.

Severe weather is possible in central SD Friday night. Scattered supercells with large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes are the main risks. This activity is expected to weaken later Friday night as it heads east of the James Valley.

Another round of storms is possible Saturday ahead of a cold front. High amounts of heat and humidity will help feed any storms that develop in our region. The northern half of this outlook will be less capped, but given the extreme instability in place, a line of severe winds could develop if the storms get organized after sunset. We’ll know more tomorrow.
