July contrasts June's heavy rainfall
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Since the beginning of July, the weather has calmed down, but only a little. We will show the pattern shift to you.
We’re halfway through July and it’s a lot different than the heavy rains we had in June.
Scenes like these are still fresh in people’s minds for southeast KELOLAND. As we had record rainfall last month in southeast KELOLAND.
This is our daily rainfall in June for Sioux Falls. The driest span of weather was only four days, as half the month had measurable rainfall. And of course, the record rains that fell the weekend of the 20th and 21st.
The month gave Sioux Falls officially 11.20″ of rain. But, it was much heavier south of Sioux Falls where they continue to deal with the aftermath of the June flooding.
In contrast, this month is practically the opposite. Sioux Falls is sitting at under a tenth of an inch of rain. Only three days with measurable rain.
But with the nature of the hit and miss rain we’ve had, there are areas in KELOLAND that have had scattered storms with locally heavy downpours. It’s just a matter of being under the right cloud.
YANKTON — A 30-year-old man suffered fatal injuries Tuesday morning, July 16, in a two-vehicle crash, seven miles west of Yankton.
The names of the people involved have not been released pending notification of family members.
According to the South Dakota Department of Public Safety, preliminary crash information indicates the driver of a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt was traveling westbound on S.D. Highway 50 near mile marker 375. At that location, a deceased deer was laying in the westbound roadway. The driver hit the deer and lost control of the vehicle and entered the eastbound lane. At the same time, the driver of a 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt was approaching from the opposite direction and collided with the first vehicle. Both vehicles came to rest in the south ditch.
The driver of the 2008 Cobalt sustained fatal injuries from the crash. The driver of the 2010 Cobalt, a 52-year-old male, sustained life-threatening injuries. Both were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash.
The crash occurred at about 5:31 a.m.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol is investigating the crash. All information released so far is only preliminary.
The Highway Patrol is an agency of the South Dakota Department of Public Safety.
Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “Mitchell Republic.” Often, the “Mitchell Republic” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Miss South Dakota appeared on KELOLAND Living Monday afternoon. One of our reporters sat down with her and asked her what earning the crown means to her.
“It’s just a great, great honor. I’ve watched so many women who are relatives of mine or they’re good friends of mine become Miss South Dakota and become a woman of influence. And the Miss America opportunity is really all about empowering women to lead. And so I’m just so honored to have this ability to grow into that woman of influence I’ve watched so many others become as well,” said Joelle Simpson, Miss South Dakota.
