South Dakotans received a brief reprieve from the dry conditions across the state this week as much-needed rain fell throughout the area, with some locations seeing as much as three inches of precipitation.
But there is a long way to go before drought conditions are overcome, according to the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls.
“It’s unfortunate, but we are pretty down,” said Matthew Meyers, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
Mitchell has received 0.96 inches of rain since Sunday. That’s comparable to the 0.64 inches received in Sioux Falls and the 0.67 inches received in Huron. Chamberlain received 3.02 inches between Sunday and Thursday.
