.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1236 AM CST Sun Nov 8 2026

An upper-level ridge is moving over SD today, which is helping to
push a bit of high pressure over the state. This high pressure will
move some more warm and dry air into SD today. Temperatures today
and Monday will be warmer than normal, in the 50s to mid 60s. The
drier air aloft will help to keep precipitation from developing over
the next few days, even with a few frontal boundaries moving through
the state. Speaking of boundaries, there will be a weak cold front
moving through SD tonight into Monday morning. While this cold front
won`t dramatically change temperatures overnight, it will help
cooler air to move in over the period of a few days and will cool
temperatures slightly. Monday will be 10-20 degrees warmer than
normal and Tuesday 10-15 degrees warmer than normal, then Wednesday
and Thursday will be around normal to about 10 degrees warmer than
normal.

An upper-level trough will be moving over SD Tuesday night into
Wednesday. This will help to push a surface low pressure over the
Northern Plains into MN Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, with
the low acting a bit like a clipper system. The models do vary the
location of this low, as the Canadian model has it moving over
western and central SD and other models have it moving from ND to
MN. In addition to the low`s track, the models also vary whether
there will be precipitation moving in along with the low and if that
precipitation will move over central or northeastern SD. Because of
the variability in the models, as well as lower amounts of moisture
in the atmosphere, there is low confidence in rain showers
developing over the area. There is a 10-15% chance for isolated rain
showers to develop over northeastern SD Tuesday evening into the
early nighttime hours, with higher chances to the east over MN.
