Warm weather predicted for remainder of August

Hot weather is in the forecast for next week and warm conditions are expected to finish out the month of August.

South Dakota State Climatologist Laura Edwards says the warm trends are expected to continue into September through November.

Edwards says that pattern could lead to more precipitation later in the fall.

Edwards says the developing La Nina could lead to a colder than normal winter.

Edwards made a presentation recently during the virtual Dakotafest.
