SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — It’s been a rainy and snowy week across parts of KELOLAND. Meteorologist Scot Mundt joins us with a closer look at the moisture we’ve had.

KELOLAND has been fighting dry conditions since the fall, but our moisture recently helps as we head into the planting season.

We got a break from the precipitation Thursday but temperatures remained below average. It was a good break, considering Aberdeen has received 10 inches of snow for the first two days of the month.

While the snow causes travel problems and back aches, many if not all needed the moisture.

This graphic is a running tally of moisture compared to the average over the past 30 days.The green and blue areas are where moisture is now above average. One of the highest is Watertown at over 200% of the average. Keep in mind, a lot of this moisture has come in over the past week

Our wet pattern will continue tonight and tomorrow with another round of a wintry mix, though it doesn’t look like it should be as heavy as the previous systems. After that system moves through, expect dry skies this weekend and for much of next week.

For KELOLAND weather, I’m Meteorologist Scot Mundt.
