Sioux Falls, South Dakota – Scattered showers and gusty winds could affect parts of eastern South Dakota through Thursday, with light rainfall totals expected in Sioux Falls and surrounding areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls, rain chances remain in the forecast through Thursday evening, accompanied by breezy conditions and highs in the mid to upper 60s. Winds could pick up again Sunday, with gusts near 25 mph possible across open areas.
While the rain won’t bring major totals, it could create slick roads during morning commutes—especially along I-29 and Highway 42. Cities including Brookings, Mitchell, and Yankton will also see periods of clouds and light rain before skies clear Friday.
After a cooler end to the workweek, temperatures will rebound into the mid-70s on Saturday and could reach 80° by Sunday. Outdoor plans for the weekend should be safe, with sunshine and calm skies expected for most of the state.
Rain chances fade after Thursday, but another breezy stretch is likely Sunday into early next week. More updates will follow if wind advisories or fire weather alerts are issued.
