    South Dakota Weather March 5 Morning - 25° Above Normal
    Mar 5 2026
    Good morning. South Dakota. I'm Aaron Jolly. If you're squinting at the fog outside your window wondering where the state went. You're not alone. Visibility's down to a quarter mile across much of South Dakota this morning. Give yourself extra space on the roads until about 10 A.M. When this burns off. In the next 24 hours. Once it clears? You're in for a treat. We're running 20 to 25 degrees above normal today — the kind of warmth that makes you forget it's early March. Central South Dakota climbs near 68 degrees. Out west. Rapid City and the Black Hills flirt with 70, which is near-record territory for March 5th. Eastern areas sit a bit cooler at 61, thanks to that stubborn fog, but even that feels more like mid-April than early March. Don't get too comfortable. Rain develops across the east after 7 P.M. Tonight, with a slight chance of rumbles overnight. Out west, that moisture transitions to snow by morning. Friday brings the crash — temperatures plunge into the 30s and 40s statewide, with gusty northwest winds making it feel even colder. By Friday night, rain changes to snow across much of the state. Accumulations stay light, generally under an inch, but with temps dropping into the 20s and winds gusting to 30 miles an hour, travel could turn dicey. The weekend recovers nicely. Saturday brings sunshine and highs in the upper 40s to mid-50s. Sunday bounces back near 70 out west, 60s elsewhere. Next week turns more seasonal, with another chance of rain and snow by Tuesday and Wednesday. Spring equinox is just two weeks away, but winter's got one more card to play. Enjoy today's warmth while you've got it. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    South Dakota Weather March 3 Evening - 20° Above Normal
    Mar 4 2026
    Good evening. South Dakota. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and you'll feel something rare for early March. Thirty five degrees under crystal clear skies. Quiet. Calm. Almost suspiciously pleasant. That's a ridge of high pressure parked right over us, keeping everything stable tonight. In the next 24 hours. Lows dip to the upper 20s across central South Dakota. Low 30s elsewhere. Nothing dramatic. But if you're an early riser in the eastern counties, watch for patchy fog developing after 2 A.M. That morning commute could get a little hazy. Now. Wednesday is the headliner. A southerly wind cranks up, pulling warm air straight out of the plains. Highs soar into the upper 60s out west. Mid 50s east. That's 20 degrees above normal, folks. Gusts hit 25 miles an hour by afternoon, but honestly, who cares when it feels like April? Thursday keeps the party going. Upper 60s statewide under partly sunny skies. Then the plot twist arrives Thursday night. A Colorado low starts tracking northeast. And rain spreads across eastern counties. Thunderstorms are even possible before midnight. Lows hold in the low 40s east, upper 20s west. Friday gets messy. Rain through the morning transitions to a wintry mix by afternoon. Eastern South Dakota takes the worst of it. Rain changing to snow by evening with northeast gusts hitting 30 miles an hour. That raw, damp cold that cuts through everything. Western counties see snow earlier but light. Under an inch. By Friday night, it's all snow statewide before tapering off. The weekend bounces back fast. Saturday clears out with sunshine and low 50s. Sunday pushes into the low 60s. Early next week? Upper 60s Monday before another rain chance rolls in Tuesday. Charge your phone, enjoy tomorrow's warmth. And save your snow complaints for Friday. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
