Gona be a bit, but this is the most recent view and trajectory.

This cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms is tracking northeast at around 50 MPH. If it continues to move at this speed, Sioux Falls is expected to be impacted by these storms around 5-6 PM CDT.

Here's another heads up folks. Make sure you secure what you don't want blown away outside, and check your flashlights as well. This could make for an interesting evening.

Something to keep in mind for tomorrow. Looks like our first big chance for significant weather.

Saturday Morning Update: We'll have a growing risk of thunderstorms overnight into Sunday morning, a few of which could be strong to severe.

HOWEVER, we're watching a higher potential for severe weather Sunday afternoon into the early overnight hours. This level 3 of 5 event could bring very large hail in storms (2"+) along with straight line winds. There will also be an increased risk of tornadoes.

Here's something important to remember. Being in an outlook doesn't guarantee you'll see severe weather in your backyard, BUT the potential for it developing is higher. There are still several factors we're watching that could impact our risks and storm development on Sunday. The best thing you can do is be weather aware and have a plan when/if storms develop.
