Spring? Not so fast. Winter is crashing the party once again, and Sioux Falls is about to get a blustery, snowy wake-up call. A strong storm system is moving in, bringing gusty winds, freezing temps, and tricky travel conditions through early Wednesday. If you were thinking of getting outside or hitting the road, you might want to reconsider—this storm could make driving a real headache.
Sioux Falls: Wind, Snow & A Whole Lot of Cold
Get ready for a day that looks like spring but feels like winter. Wednesday morning starts off cloudy, breezy, and around 38°F (3°C). Not too bad, right? But don’t let that fool you—as the day goes on, the wind is going to crank up, making it feel even colder.
While there may be a few breaks in the clouds later in the day, that won’t help much when the wind is howling. By nighttime, temperatures will drop to 21°F (-6°C), and those gusty winds could blow snow around, reducing visibility and making roads slick. If you don’t absolutely need to go out, do yourself a favor—stay inside, stay warm, and let the storm pass.
What This Means for You:
Messy Roads Ahead – Expect slick, icy conditions and low visibility, especially on highways and open roads. If you have to drive, give yourself extra time.
Hold Onto Your Hats (and Cars!) – Winds will be strong enough to make driving tricky, especially if you’re in a high-profile vehicle like an SUV or truck.
Power Outages Could Happen – Strong winds + winter weather = potential downed power lines. It’s always better to be prepared just in case.
How to Get Through It Like a Pro:
Stay Updated – Check weather alerts and road conditions before heading out. This storm is no joke!
Avoid Unnecessary Travel – If you don’t have to go out, don’t. If you do, drive slow, stay alert, and be careful.
Stock Up & Stay Cozy – Make sure you have food, water, blankets, and flashlights handy—just in case the power goes out or roads get too rough.
