A Warmer and Drier Weather Pattern Continues

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - Sunny skies and warm temperatures can again be expected today, but highs could be a couple of degrees lower than Monday due to an easterly component to our winds today.

A hot ridge of high pressure builds over us Wednesday and Thursday, resulting in highs well on up into the 80s. Yes, a 90 degree temperature is likely Thursday near the Badlands.

A cold front will bring much cooler air by the weekend with a few showers, but the amount of moisture with this system remains questionable.

Warm and dry weather returns next week.
