Sioux Falls, SD – A line of showers and thunderstorms is moving into Sioux Falls late Sunday, bringing the risk of gusty winds and heavy downpours to the city and surrounding metro.
According to the US National Weather Service in Sioux Falls, one isolated severe storm tracked southeast earlier but is showing signs of weakening as it nears the area. Residents should expect scattered storms to continue into western Minnesota and portions of northwest Iowa through early evening.
Locally, neighborhoods from Harrisburg to Dell Rapids could see periods of heavy rain, lightning, and brief wind gusts that may impact travel along I-29 and I-90. Outdoor plans around the Falls Park area, as well as city parks, may be disrupted as the storms roll in.
Officials urge residents to move indoors as storms approach, avoid flooded roads, and monitor local alerts for potential updates. Power outages and minor street flooding are possible, especially in low-lying areas.
Thunderstorm activity is expected to continue into tonight, with updates likely if conditions worsen. More advisories could be issued as the weather system tracks eastward.
