A shift from cool to muggy across Sioux Falls<\/strong><\/p>\n After a cooler stretch in the second half of May<\/strong>, South Dakota<\/strong> is now bracing for a return to warmer, more humid conditions<\/strong>. This transition<\/strong>, expected by the upcoming weekend<\/strong>, will mark a noticeable change in the air<\/strong>, especially across areas like Sioux Falls<\/strong> and the broader KELOLAND<\/strong> region.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Early signs of summer moisture creeping north<\/strong><\/p>\n While the first half of May<\/strong> delivered above-average warmth, recent days brought a reprieve<\/strong> from the heat. But as June approaches<\/strong>, deeper tropical moisture<\/strong> will begin to migrate northward<\/strong>, a typical pattern<\/strong> for the start of meteorological summer<\/strong>. This increase in atmospheric moisture<\/strong> often sets the stage for larger thunderstorm systems<\/strong>, particularly in areas still struggling with below-normal rainfall<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dew points rising: A signal of muggier days<\/strong><\/p>\n Dew point values will be a key indicator<\/strong> of the incoming humidity surge<\/strong>. By early next week<\/strong>, dew points above 60\u00b0F (16\u00b0C)<\/strong> are expected to move into the region. That level of moisture in the air is where things begin to feel noticeably muggy<\/strong> for most residents. While not yet at the oppressive levels of high summer, this shift will introduce the first real taste of summer air<\/strong> for many.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Patience brings the payoff of summer warmth<\/strong><\/p>\n Although the return to heat and humidity may take a few more days, the atmosphere is clearly trending toward summer<\/strong>. Residents across KELOLAND<\/strong>, especially those craving sun-drenched afternoons<\/strong> and sultry evenings<\/strong>, should prepare for a change in the weather mood<\/strong>\u2014a true seasonal turn<\/strong> just as June kicks off<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A shift from cool to muggy across Sioux Falls After a cooler stretch in the second half of May, South Dakota is now bracing for a return to warmer, more humid conditions.
