DISCUSSION

Issued at 103 AM CST Mon Mar 2 2026

As of 1 AM CST, temperatures are in the teens to low 20s with clear skies and winds out of the southeast at generally less than 10 mph. Dropped high temps today a few degrees where we have a snowpack. Highs are expected to be in the mid 30s to low 40s in northeastern SD and west central MN while rising into the upper 40s to mid 50s in central SD.

Continued relatively quiet weather today as high pressure remains over the region with a low off to our west. We will get a good shot of WAA today which will help bring in some warmer temperatures that look to continue through the work week. Confidence is low on just how much warmer we will get over the next couple days due to the current snowpack. There is a chance for some light rain in south central SD this afternoon, but chances max out right around 30 to 40% and little to no accumulation is expected. Shifting focus to later this week, we have a chance for some precipitation Thursday evening into Friday. A low pressure system looks to move southwest to northeast across eastern SD. Rain, wintry mix, snow, and freezing rain are all possible. This will mainly take place over the eastern half of the CWA, leaving north central SD fairly dry. Current chances for freezing rain are around 15% or less (highest over the Prairie Coteau/Sisseton Hills area) Friday morning. Temperatures following this system look to be about 10 to 15 degrees cooler at 850 mb and these cooler temperatures are forecast to last into next work week.
