Issued at 101 AM CDT Fri Jun 12 2026

As of 1 AM CDT, temperatures around the region are in the low to mid
60s with winds out of the west to northwest at 10-15 mph. Some
showers continue to make their way across central and northeast SD
at this time. These are very isolated showers producing little
precipitation.

Not a whole lot happening today and through the weekend. A cold
front moves through today with highs a bit higher than
Thursday, in the upper 70s to mid 80s. There is a chance for
some showers and thunderstorms in eastern SD this afternoon
into the evening. No severe weather is expected at this time.
Saturday and Sunday are expected to be a little below average
for this time of year, in the upper 60s to mid 70s. Saturday is
expected to be on the windy side with gusts of 30- 40 mph out of
the northwest. The best chance for some precipitation looks to
be Tuesday night through Wednesday as low pressure moves out of
southern Canada and across ND. This could develop some storms
mainly Wednesday afternoon and evening. Cooler temperatures look
to continue through the rest of the 7 day forecast.
