Tomorrow's Forecast

21/06/2024

Hey Siouxland friends,

The flooding risk today is extreme in some areas, and I wanted to make sure all of you are aware of the situation.

Some areas in Siouxland received as much as 10 inches of rain in the last 24 hours, with substantially more rain possible today. In the worst case scenario, this could result in record flooding on the Rock River and major flooding along the Sioux River. This also could result in multiple roads across NW Iowa and SE South Dakota becoming impassable or even washed out.

Please avoid travel this evening in Lincoln/Lyon counties and other heavily flooded areas. If you know people in these areas and especially near the rivers, please make sure they are aware how dire the situation is. Personally, if I lived in Sioux or Rock River flood plains I would be evacuating or preparing to at this time.

We are anticipating the strongest solar storm in some years to impact earth later today. This creates an unusually high probability for northern lights viewing. While northern lights visibility is never a guarantee because of a number of variables and limited knowledge to forecast them, you will rarely have a night with as high an odds of visibility as tonight.

A tornado warning & severe thunderstorm warning are currently in effect for portions of NW Iowa. A separate storm recently produced a landspout tornado near Yankton. Each storm that develops is expected to be short lived this evening, but there is so much energy they are becoming severe rapidly before dissipating.

An extremely strong solar storm is hitting earth right now, making northern lights visible very far south in Europe. I am not confident it will be long enough lived to be visible after dark in the U.S. but it’s worth following.

I have seen recent reports of northern lights currently visible in the city of Berlin.

March 30-31 Storm Update:

Severe threat:
Strong storms are possible after sunset tonight. The SPC has the entire area under a marginal risk of severe weather, but the chances of severe weather look very low to me. If you do get severe weather, quarter sized hail is the only notable threat. Warm air is still rushing into the area from the south as I am writing this (4:20 PM CT). The temperature is 66 degrees in Sioux City and 40 degrees in Sioux Falls at the moment of writing. I expect the strongest storms to occur in areas above 50 degrees later this evening.

Snow threat:
Tomorrow evening a quick 0-3 inches of snow is expected to fall across the area, with most areas expected to receive 1-2 inches of snow.

While the snow accumulations are expected to be pretty low, they will be accompanied with very strong winds across the area. Winds may gust as high as 55 mph in some areas, and the impacts are expected to be most substantial north of Sioux Falls. Blizzard Warnings are in effect for many areas in the north and west. A map is attached below of warnings (Blizzard in red). Winter Weather Advisories are issued further south (in blue). The advisories may be extended southeast tomorrow if snow totals or wind are trending higher.

Part of the consideration for the Blizzard Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories is existing snowpack. They generally correlate with the areas with the most pre-existing snow, as that will contribute to the amount of blowing snow.

Edit: Condition deterioration (due to snow) is expected to begin tomorrow afternoon in the Western edges of the area and reach the Iowa/Minnesota border in the 6-8 PM range. So most of the snow impacts are expected to be evening into overnight tomorrow.
