DISCUSSION

Issued at 1255 AM CDT Sat May 9 2026

As of 1 AM CDT, temperatures around the forecast area are in the upper 40s to low 50s with light winds out of the west to northwest behind the cold front. We have a line of showers moving in from ND, mainly east of the Missouri River, which will continue to move south across the forecast area through the next several hours.

A cold front moved through overnight leaving behind cooler air. As a result, highs today will be about 10 degrees cooler than Friday. Cooler temps overnight are also a result with a potential for a freeze in some localized portions of north central and northeast SD into west central MN Saturday night and some more widespread areas across far northeast SD into west central MN Sunday night. A Frost Advisory has been issued for Saturday night.

High pressure off to our northeast Monday will bring our winds around to be out of the south and give us a good push of WAA. This will bring back above average temperatures that are expected to continue through the work week. Also on Monday, a low pressure system off to the northwest will result in a pressure battle and bring some gusty winds to the area. At the moment, wind gusts of 30 to 35 mph are possible, which could result in elevated grassland fire danger since we aren't anticipating measurable precipitation between now and then. Will keep an eye on this over the next few days. Tuesday has the potential to be even more windy with CAA behind the cold front promotes better mixing. During the work week, we have a couple chances for precipitation, mainly over the eastern half of the forecast area. These will come along with a couple cold fronts during the week, first Monday night into early Tuesday morning, and the second Thursday.
