South Dakota State University Extension State Climatologist Laura Edwards says the exceptionally wet conditions are starting to change in northeastern South Dakota. “That area has actually been pretty dry. There’s really nothing to show on the drought monitor in that region. We have been so wet and I think at this point, dryness is a welcome sight.” With next one to two weeks expected to be warmer and drier, Edwards says drought has the potential to expand and develop in the state. It’s been a variable year for drought.
