.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1243 AM CST Wed Nov 4 2026

As of 12:30 am CST, temperatures across the area are in the upper
30s to low 40s with winds out of the north between 15 and 20 mph
with gusts up to 30 mph. These gusts will be diminishing through the
next few hours. This afternoon, winds across northeast SD will gust
between 25 and 30 mph.

Precipitation continues today across northeast SD. The chance of
more than half an inch in additional accumulation is between 45 and
70% along and east of I-29. Chances farther west up to and around
the James River are between 15 and 30%. Due to the recent moisture,
patchy fog will be possible this morning across portions of central
SD mainly east of the Missouri River where winds are dying down.
Visibilities may be reduced to around a mile. Overall, pretty quiet
weather once we get past today. Temperatures through the end of the
week will be right around average before winds shift around to be
out of the south and raise temperatures to 10-15 degrees above
average. There could be some stronger wind gusts Saturday afternoon
over north central SD, around 25 to 30 mph. Otherwise, winds stay
relatively unremarkable through the end of the period.
