.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1255 AM CDT Sat May 9 2026

As of 1 AM CDT, temperatures around the forecast area are in the
upper 40s to low 50s with light winds out of the west to northwest
behind the cold front. We have a line of showers moving in from ND,
mainly east of the Missouri River, which will continue to move south
across the forecast area through the next several hours.

A cold front moved through overnight leaving behind cooler air. As a
result, highs today will be about 10 degrees cooler than Friday.
Cooler temps overnight are also a result with a potential for a
freeze in some localized portions of north central and northeast SD
into west central MN Saturday night and some more widespread areas
across far northeast SD into west central MN Sunday night. A Frost
Advisory has been issued for Saturday night.

High pressure off to our northeast Monday will bring our winds
around to be out of the south and give us a good push of WAA. This
will bring back above average temperatures that are expected to
continue through the work week. Also on Monday, a low pressure
system off to the northwest will result in a pressure battle and
bring some gusty winds to the area. At the moment, wind gusts of 30
to 35 mph are possible, which could result in elevated grassland
fire danger since we aren`t anticipating measurable precipitation
between now and then. Will keep an eye on this over the next few
days. Tuesday has the potential to be even more windy with CAA
behind the cold front promotes better mixing. During the work week,
we have a couple chances for precipitation, mainly over the eastern
half of the forecast area. These will come along with a couple cold
fronts during the week, first Monday night into early Tuesday
morning, and the second Thursday.
