A strong area of high pressure has built east into the Plains and Upper Midwest, which means warm-to-hot temperatures have been felt. Another round of records was set today across much of the country on Friday.

While the heat was on Friday, temperatures are expected to cool quickly as low pressure wraps air in from the north.

Check out all the colder air moving in behind the cold front.

As a gathering system from the west pulls in cooler air, temperatures will drop tremendously! By Saturday, Rapid City will see high temperatures in the low 30s. In Sioux Falls, we'll go from temperatures That were in the low 80s on Friday to a high of 42° to start the weekend!

We have more on the upcoming cooldown across the Plains in your Central Regional Forecast, every :30 past the hour!
