In the not to distant past , one could look up to know the weather forecast. Starting in 1952 around Sioux Falls weather balls were displayed. At one time 4 weather balls were in various locations around the city. In the 1990s KELO AM announcers would precede weather breaks mentioning the color of the balls following with more specific weather information. There was a verse to help decode the weather balls' prophecies:
"When the weather ball is red, warmer weather is ahead"
"When the weather ball is white, colder weather is in site"
"When the weather ball is green, no change in weather is foreseen"
"When colors blink by day or night, precipitation is in sight"
