The Dam Rock Station Playing Anything that Rocks!!
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — While we received some much needed moisture in eastern and southeast KELOLAND last night and early Thursday morning, it is not factored into the new drought monitor which came out today.
Rain and snow moved through parts of eastern KELOLAND this morning. Not everyone was able to get wet, as we’ve had some gap zones. Mainly in east central South Dakota.Here’s a look at some of the early morning precip totals in eastern and southeast KELOLAND.
Estimated rain amounts in the southeast range from near a quarter inch to three-quarters of an inch and more. Great news considering the very dry conditions over the past two months.
The first thing you may notice on the new drought monitor is how much the extreme category, in red, has expanded.
It’s now into Rapid City and throughout much of Todd and Mellette Counties, west of Winner. And the severe drought is now connected across the southern third of South Dakota.
I know there were some that didn’t get any moisture, but there is more moisture on the way. We’ll watch for increasing rain chances late Saturday into Sunday. Some may even have the rain last into early next week. November is already looking a lot more active than the past two months.
