What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this extreme cold warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Sioux Falls, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this extreme cold warning went out at Feb 16, 10:36 PM CST, 4 hours 21 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Dangerously cold temperatures and wind chill values are expected for a large portion of the week ahead. Use extreme caution if spending time outdoors or traveling.
- Persistent flurries to light snow risks may linger along the Missouri River into Tuesday, though accumulation will be minimal.
- A warming trend is in sight by next weekend and into the following week. Probabilities for temperatures greater than 32 degrees approach 100% by next weekend, with 40%+ probabilities of 50 degrees once snow melts.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 204 PM CST Sun Feb 16 2025
THIS AFTERNOON: A very cold afternoon across the region with
temperatures struggling to reach beyond the single digits. Snow-
less areas of north central and northern South Dakota where
temperatures are now in the double digits, have spawned a very
low strato-CU field that will diminish as sunset arrives.
TONIGHT: An upper trough will sink southward into the Northern
Plains and Western Great Lakes regions overnight, with light snow
developing along a mid-lvl baroclinic zone over southwestern South
Dakota into north central and eastern Nebraska. Meanwhile, a 1048mb
area of high pressure will begin to sink down the Missouri River
Valley into the Northern Plains. While snow spreads southeast,
the extremely dry airmass under the incoming surface high is
likely to keep a very sharp northeast snow line in place near
the Missouri River. In fact PW values overhead this high
pressure area continue to sit near the driest 1% of climatology
for mid- February, and in some places outside of climatology.
Nevertheless, will keep a low PoP along the river areas, but
accumulations are expected to remain under a half inch.
Elsewhere, temperatures will quickly fall after sunset, plunging
into the single digits to teens below zero. The biggest
question will be the influence of increasing cirrus moving
northeast and impact on temperatures around daybreak. Even
adjusting the diurnal curve slightly still leads to -35 or below
wind chills over the northern tiers of the CWA along Highway
14, and advisory criteria extending into northwest Iowa and
southern South Dakota. No changes to headlines ATTM, but will
need to watch areas of SW Minnesota for possible warning
expansion if clouds have less impact.
MONDAY: Light snow chances persist along the Missouri River, with
very dry and cold conditions elsewhere. The first of several days
where temperatures struggle to reach above zero arrives, with
daytime wind chills remaining between -15 and -25 at times. Some
expansion of advisories may be needed along the Buffalo Ridge in the
afternoon.
TUESDAY: The coldest low-lvl airmass of this even will move
in for the middle of the work week. ESAT tables from the
GEFS/NAEFS/ECE all indicate that temperatures in this airmass
sit near to just outside the 30 year climatology for mid-
February, with a typical return interval between 10-30 years. A
slight concern for the persistence of mid-upper clouds along the
Missouri River at times Monday night, which could impact
temperatures. However, with winds settling under the surface
high, we'll likely see low temperatures drop well through the
teens to 20s below zero by daybreak Tuesday. A light north wind
may produce wind chills approaching the -40 to -45F range at
times. Will maintain the expansive extreme cold watch, which
will likely be upgraded later tonight. Tuesday highs again fail
to rise above zero, leading to potential record cold high
temperatures.
WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY: A slightly deepening upper trough over Minnesota
will spin a weak lobe of vorticity through the Dakotas late Tuesday
night into Wednesday morning. Which could throw a brief fly in the
ointment with overnight low temperatures. Should sufficient low-mid
clouds develop, then NBM temperatures may be too cold. Have blended
in some slightly warmer guidance, which in return may limit
potential advisory conditions in most areas. However, if these
clouds don't develop, then another widespread advisory may be
needed. The upper trough begins to slide east as Thursday arrives,
with surface high pressure moving back into the region heading into
Thursday. Wednesday highs may again fail to rise above zero and may
again establish new cold records. While some questions with clouds
remain heading into Thursday, with light winds we are likely to
again see temperatures fall back into the teens below zero, and
potential into the -20s. Again, it looks like widespread
cold weather advisory conditions will be met. High pressure begins
to slide east early Friday, and at times the wind chill values may
be fairly close to air temperatures. That said, another night with
single digit to negative teen overnight lows is likely, but perhaps
less advisory potential.
SATURDAY-SUNDAY: After this week, what's ahead next weekend will
feel like a heat wave. Downstream blocking finally releases,
allowing heights to build over the central US and warm advection
to begin spilling over into the Plains. The return of
southwesterly surface flow pushes highs into the teens and 20s
on Friday, and the warm westerly flow next weekend will push
highs Saturday near freezing, and then above freezing in all
areas Sunday. LREF guidance suggestion >32 degree probabilities
at 100% by Sunday, with nearly 40%+ probabilities of 50 degree
temperatures in portions of the Missouri River. The very dry and
fluffy snowpack will begin to compress and melt quickly by
early next with the warming late February sun.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 1035 PM CST Sun Feb 16 2025
An area of stratus and isolated flurries will continue to slide
southeastward through northwestern IA through the late evening,
before exiting the area shortly after 06Z. Otherwise, mid to
upper level clouds increase later tonight into Monday. May see
light snow/flurries develop through the MO River corridor after
06Z tonight, with the threat of light snow continuing through
Monday. Even so, only minor accumulations are expected. Winds
will be northerly at 5 to 10 kts through the TAF period.
