SIOUX FALLS, S.D.(KELO)- The recent rain added to the late summer totals, and more rainfall is expected in the short-term forecast.

State Climatologist Laura Edwards explains that rain is in the forecast with nice weather to follow.

With many areas still experiencing drought conditions, Edwards says farmers will take any rain they can get.

As fall weather begins to creep into the region, many people are wondering how the cooler temps will affect their gardens and crops.

State Climatologist Laura Edwards says there’s no need to worry quite yet.

Edwards says with a warmer than average outlook, an early frost is very unlikely.
