Due to the somewhat frequent intrusions of cooler/moister air from the east last month, Chadron and Alliance ended with above normal temperatures for June, but not in the top 10.

By fireworks time, we start to see 50s dominate and mostly clear skies will settle in. Overnight tonight, we will see those temperatures fall into the 50s across all of the area. Few spots may even drop into the upper 40s. Mainly clear skies and calmer conditions are expected throughout the overnight hours and tomorrow we see more thunderstorms in the forecast. A few of those thunderstorms could be severe with temperatures in the 70s and 60s and around the black hills. We could see a few spots on the South Dakota Plains making it into the low to mid 80s. Northeast winds up to 15 miles an hour outside of those thunderstorms are possible. We start to dry out by the end of the work week, with Gillette, Sheridan and Spearfish all seeing sunshine returning by Friday. Deadwood could see some isolated thunderstorms around on Friday.
