SIOUX CITY — Residents across the tri-state area can breathe a sigh of relief this Wednesday. Skies are clearing up across Siouxland as the bulk of recent precipitation shifts eastward, making way for a noticeably brighter and warmer day.
After a cool start to the week, Wednesday brings a welcome temperature spike with highs expected to reach the mid 60s. However, local forecasters warn that this dry stretch will be short-lived.
The Upcoming Forecast: A Rollercoaster Week
The calm weather serves as a brief intermission before a more active spring pattern takes hold. Here is what you can expect over the next several days:
- Thursday: Rain chances return to the region. Temperatures will take a slight dip, falling back into the 50s.
- Friday: A daytime break in the clouds is expected, with highs recovering to the upper 50s and low 60s.
- The Weekend Outlook: Showers are set to move back in late Friday night into Saturday. Despite the rain, the warming trend continues with Saturday highs hitting the mid 60s.
Looking Ahead: A Surge Toward Summer
By Sunday and Monday, Siouxland will experience a significant temperature “soar.” Thermometers are predicted to climb into the upper 70s, though residents should keep their umbrellas handy as scattered showers are expected to linger through the beginning of the work week.
Weather Alert: Temperatures will sharply retreat on Tuesday, cooling back down to the mid 50s with lingering moisture still in the area.
As we move through the rest of the 9-on-9 forecast, the trend points back upward, though the threat of scattered showers remains a “non-zero chance” for the foreseeable future.
