Issued at 1212 AM CDT Tue Aug 25 2026

As of 12:30 AM CDT, temperatures across the region are in the upper 60s to low 70s with winds out of the northwest behind a cold front and out of the southeast ahead of the cold front. Storms will continue to move across eastern SD for the next several hours and are expected to decrease in strength as they continue southeast.

Today through Thursday is expected to have quiet, dry weather as high pressure moves into the region. Storm chances return Friday through the weekend but confidence on severe weather is low at this time. Temperatures through the period are still expected to be around to slightly above average, warmest towards the weekend and cooling down into next work week. HRRR smoke shows some smoke move into the forecast area today with some higher concentrations over northeast SD. There could be a little bit of smoke at the surface lending a slight smoky smell to the air, but the higher concentrations (still only a small amount) are expected Wednesday at the surface. This isn't expected to reduce visibilities much at all, but could give the air a smoky smell again. Winds Tuesday are expected to gust up to 35 mph mainly across northern SD, but could reach as far south as Redfield or Highmore, SD.
