Rain showers are moving through South Dakota today, with the heaviest rain expected along the I-90 corridor near Sioux Falls. Showers should begin tapering off later in the day as a “dry slot”—a zone of dry air—pushes into the area, offering temporary relief from precipitation. According to the National Weather Service, the dry slot may reduce rainfall to a drizzle or even cause a short lull in showers. Rain totals today will range from a few tenths to half an inch, with heavier accumulation likely south of I-90.
Residents in the Sioux Falls area should keep umbrellas and rain gear handy today, as a few periods of rain will continue into the evening hours. Winds may pick up, reaching gusts as high as 25 mph in some areas, adding to the damp and chilly conditions. Motorists on I-90 and other local highways should be cautious, as visibility could be limited in heavier rain.
Sunday will bring a welcome change, with partly sunny skies and highs near 52°F, while light northwest winds provide a calm, dry day to enjoy outdoor plans. Monday’s Veterans Day forecast is favorable, promising mostly sunny skies and a high of 48°F—ideal conditions for commemorative events and ceremonies across South Dakota.
Looking ahead, Monday night will be mostly clear with lows around 32°F. Tuesday will continue the sunny trend with a high of 55°F, although light rain may return late Tuesday night with a 20% chance of showers after midnight.
