Here's when severe storms could hit the Sioux Falls area for Memorial Day weekend

Hot and rainy: That's the best way to describe the Memorial Day weekend in Sioux Falls and surrounding areas.

The area is forecast by the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls to see at least a couple rounds of severe weather in the form of storms, damaging winds and hail.

What's the forecast?

A few weak showers or thunderstorms are possible overnight Friday into Saturday, according to the NWS. While severe weather is not expected, some of this activity may produce brief gusty winds.

Saturday showers and thunderstorms return to the region, especially in the evening and overnight hours. Isolated strong to severe storms Saturday night will be capable of producing hail up to half dollar size, and possibly a few wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph, according to the NWS.

However, additional rounds of severe weather are possible later Sunday and Monday night, but not much is known for those days.

When will the severe weather form?

The possible storms for the weekend are mostly going to happen in the overnight hours. Saturday storms could hit the Sioux Falls area starting after 10 p.m., according to the NWS.

Sunday and Monday have potential storms happening after 5 p.m. on both days.
