Sioux Falls, SD – Residents across Sioux Falls and much of South Dakota should prepare for bitterly cold temperatures and dangerous wind chills beginning Sunday night and continuing through midweek. With wind chills expected to drop as low as -25°F to -40°F, officials urge caution, especially when traveling along I-29 and I-229.
According to the National Weather Service, light snow and freezing drizzle will taper off by Saturday night, but colder temperatures will settle in Sunday through Wednesday. Daytime highs will struggle to reach single digits, and nighttime temperatures could plummet to -18°F. Gusty north winds will intensify the cold, making outdoor conditions hazardous.
Residents are advised to limit time outdoors, wear layers, and keep emergency supplies in vehicles due to potential icy roads and poor visibility from blowing snow. Monday, Washington’s Birthday, will bring a slight chance of snow, but the main threat remains the extreme cold through midweek. Warmer conditions are not expected until late next week, with temperatures climbing closer to seasonal averages by Thursday. Stay updated with the latest forecasts and prepare accordingly to avoid weather-related risks.
