.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1258 AM CST Sun Mar 1 2026

As of 1 AM CST, temperatures are a little warmer than previously
forecast due to a thick layer of stratus over the region. Increased
sky cover and lows to reflect this, also lowered highs for today.
Observed temperatures are in the single digits to teens above zero.
Winds are light and out of the east.

The next few days are expected to be quiet as we come under some
high pressure and get a couple rounds of WAA. Temperatures through
the work week are expected to be above average, although with the
snow cover, by how much is hard to say. Current forecast may be a
bit too high. Our next real chance for some precipitation looks to
be during the second half of the work week when a low pressure
system moves across the area. Precipitation is expected to remain
mostly rain during the day Thursday, then become a wintry mix of
rain and snow during the overnight hours as lows dip below freezing.
The forecast currently calls for some freezing rain and snow Friday
in northeast SD, but this will depend on how warm temperatures get
during the morning. Accumulations of any kind look to be light at
this time. The forecast will change as this event gets closer and we
will keep an eye on the freezing rain potential over the next
several days.
