We are headed into a really nice Easter weekend. It all starts today with sunshine and high temps in the mid 60s in Sioux Falls and locations east of the James River. Most of central and western South Dakota will reach the upper 60s to low 70s this afternoon.

Saturday will be the nicest day of the weekend and will actually feel like summer. Once again there will be plenty of sunshine with afternoon temperatures soaring into the low 80s.

Easter Sunday will start with sunshine, but clouds will increase during the afternoon with a slight chance of scattered showers and thundershowers by mid to late afternoon. Sunday will definitely be cooler than Saturday, but still Pleasant with high temps in the mid 60s.

Clouds and scattered showers will continue into Monday, but the rest of next week will be dry and mild. High temps will remain in the low 60s Monday and Tuesday and warm to the upper 60s to low 70s by Wednesday and Thursday.
