SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — So far this month we’ve had a lot of ups and downs when it comes to temperatures. As temperatures slowly climb for the beginning of this weekend, we’ll have to watch for a wintry mix in eastern and southeast KELOLAND.
It was a cold start today for many in central and eastern KELOLAND. Many had or were close to their coldest temperatures so far this season with temperatures in the single digits on either side of zero. A storm system from the south will help us warm but it will also bring in different types of precipitation.
Here’s a look at Futurecast from this morning. I overlayed the temperatures aloft, around cloud level in orange and the surface temperature in blue.
When temperatures aloft are above 32, expect rain. However, as all the surface temperatures remain well below freezing, any rain will quickly freeze at the surface.
So it will be a very fine line for the type of precipitation Friday night into Saturday morning.
So pay attention to the changing weather conditions Friday night into Saturday morning, it could end up being a slick.
