SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — It’s one step at a time as we try to bring in more typical fall weather. The first step is getting rid of the high humidity.
Another day with strong southerly winds and warm air for much of KELOLAND. In fact, with the strong wind, dry conditions and warm temperatures it was another day with high fire danger in central and western South Dakota.
But this will soon change.
We’ll take a look at what’s expected with our wind and dew point temperatures.
Keep in mind, the dew point temperature is a measurement of how much moisture is in the air. Anytime we’re over 60 it feels humid, and that’s what we’ve had over the past several days.
With south winds ahead of the cold front for Thursday, we’ll keep some of the humidity around as dew point temperatures remain in the 60s.
But notice how this changes as winds become west to northwest behind a front for late Wednesday night and tomorrow. That’s when the air will feel much drier as lower dew point temperatures move in.
These lower dew points will last through the weekend as we continue to usher in more typical fall weather. At the same time, we’ll have to watch for the chance of rain.
