DISCUSSION

Issued at 1157 AM CST Thu Nov 12 2026

As of noon CST, temperatures across the area are in the mid 30s with winds out of the northeast to east across central SD and out of the north across northeast SD. Fog that was present this morning has burned off but a lower level stratus layer remains in place. These clouds are expected to continue into the afternoon and begin clearing later this evening.

Cool high pressure continues to build into the area today and will remain in place through the day Friday. Today will be the coolest of the week as temperatures will increase by a few degrees each day going into the weekend. Next week will be much warmer with highs in the 50s to perhaps low 60s in south central SD. Low pressure forms over the northern Rockies, just north of the MT/Canada border Friday and a pressure gradient sets up across western and central SD. This will result in breezy conditions for west river counties Friday afternoon with gusts of 30-35 mph expected. This will continue Saturday and spread east into the remainder of central SD with a 30- 50% chance of wind gusts of 35 mph or higher Saturday afternoon. Current forecast has some wind gusts to around 40 mph. Winds generally in that 30-40 mph range will continue across different areas of the CWA through at least Tuesday. The low from the northern Rockies will move into the western Dakotas Tuesday with a cold front crossing the CWA Wednesday. Models are showing a chance of precipitation with this frontal passage.
