SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Thin frost sparkles across rooftops this morning as a pale sunrise spreads over the prairie. The chill won’t last long — a ridge of high pressure is already lifting across eastern South Dakota, promising several calm and sunny days to start the new week.
According to the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls, today brings bright skies and a light southerly breeze, with highs reaching around 60°F by afternoon. Winds will increase slightly, gusting up to 30 mph, before easing again this evening. Lows tonight dip to the upper 30s under mostly clear skies, but no frost or freeze concerns are expected through midweek.
Monday and Tuesday mark a welcome warm-up. Afternoon highs climb into the upper 50s and lower 60s, with sunshine dominating both days. Travel conditions across I-90 and regional routes should remain excellent, with visibility near perfect and roadways dry.
By Wednesday, slightly cooler air nudges southward, trimming highs back into the upper 50s. Still, the region remains well above early-November averages. Looking farther ahead, early signs suggest a potential pattern shift late next weekend — models hint at a cold front that could bring the season’s first chance of flurries or light snow to parts of eastern South Dakota before mid-month.
For now, it’s a stretch of mild, steady late-fall weather — crisp mornings, blue skies, and calm afternoons — ideal for outdoor work, cleanup, or early Thanksgiving travel plans. Winter’s edge is coming, but Sioux Falls still has a few golden days left to enjoy.
