.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 132 AM CST Thu Nov 5 2026

As of 1:30 AM CST, temperatures across the area are in the upper
30s with winds out of the north between 10 and 15 mph. Some
patchy fog will be possible this morning along and on the
Prairie Coteau of northeast SD and in north central SD along the
Missouri River, although confidence is low as winds look to
stay a little too strong. Visibilities reductions down to about
a mile are expected if fog does develop.

Not a whole lot is going on during the forecast. Temperatures today
and Friday will be the coolest of the period with highs in the 40s,
possibly reaching the low 50s west river. WAA then takes over Friday
evening through the weekend to bring highs up to about 10-15 degrees
above normal. This looks to stay in place into at least the first
half of next work week. Fog is more likely tonight into Friday
morning across central SD as winds are much weaker and skies are
clearer. Visibilities around a half mile or less will be possible.
