Sioux Falls, SD – Hey, South Dakota, get ready for a bit of everything this week! If you’ve been missing those warmer days, Thursday is your chance to soak up some sunshine. The forecast looks great with temperatures in the low 50s and plenty of sunshine to enjoy. Whether you’ve got outdoor plans like walking the dog, gardening, or just enjoying a nice lunch outside, Thursday is shaping up to be a perfect day for it.
But before you get too comfy, be prepared for a windy Friday. Winds will gust up to 40 MPH, so if you’re thinking about spending time outdoors, it’s going to feel a lot chillier than those mild temperatures suggest. Even though the sun will still be shining, those strong winds will make the air feel much colder, especially if you’re walking in open spaces. Driving could be tricky too, especially on highways where the wind can make your car feel a bit wobbly, so take extra caution on the roads. If you’ve got anything outside, like lawn furniture or trash bins, it might be a good idea to secure them so they don’t blow away.
Then, as we roll into the weekend, the weather takes another shift. Saturday and Sunday will be significantly colder, with highs dropping back into the 30s and 40s. The clouds will roll in, and while it won’t be quite as windy as Friday, that cool breeze will still make it feel like we’ve stepped back into winter. If you were planning to keep the spring vibe going with outdoor activities, you’ll want to layer up and prepare for some chilly conditions.
