SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Friday’s record-setting heat comes to an abrupt end over the weekend.

Meteorologist Scot Mundt is following this weekend’s storm system that will bring in well-needed moisture.

We know it’s been dry in KELOLAND. Even going back to the late summer and fall, we’ve been mentioning drought across the area. With the way things are lining up, we may put a dent into all the drought talk.

After a record-setting day in southeast KELOLAND, a storm system will bring in rain and snow to the area. Some will get a lot of moisture while others will still be looking for more.

This is where we stand so far this month. All of the cities listed here in South Dakota are below average when it comes to precipitation. The biggest deficit runs from Pierre to Aberdeen and Sisseton where the amounts are two-thirds to .85″ below average for the month.

Rewind to the beginning of the year and it shows 5 cities being below average by over an inch. Sioux Falls is a little more than an inch below average for the year, while Huron and Sisseton are close to an inch and a half below average. But those are areas that will receive some of the heaviest precip this weekend.

Which means others may miss out. Unfortunately, northern KELOLAND is an area that will miss a lot of the precipitation. Especially north central South Dakota, near the Gettysburg and Mobridge areas.

But there are more chances for precip as we get into April. For KELOLAND weather, I’m Meteorologist Scot Mundt.
