Mild again today, but not as warm as yesterday.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) - We aren’t expecting any more 60s in the forecast, but highs will still be very mild in the 50s. Expect mostly sunny skies across much of KOTA Territory.

Clouds will likely increase on Friday with temperatures ranging from the 40s to the 50s. It should stay dry, but moisture will move in Friday night and linger into the weekend.

Oddly enough, much of the moisture will fall as rain... in early February. Not often does that happen here. Showers will be off and on through the weekend. In the higher elevations of the Black Hills and parts of northeast Wyoming, snow showers may mix in at times on Saturday and Sunday. Accumulations are not expected to be much of an issue from this storm system. But in terms of rainfall, some places may pick up a half inch!

Temperatures next week will return to the 40s and 50s for much of the area with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies early in the week, but another system could bring scattered rain or snow showers Wednesday and Thursday.
