What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm 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 winter storm warning went out at Nov 27, 11:36 AM CST, 3 hours 17 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • A dry and chilly Thanksgiving is expected, with highs ranging from the mid-20s where there is a snowpack to the mid-30s along the Missouri River Valley.
  • Our next storm system remains on track for Friday through Saturday, with a slight southward shift in the heaviest snowfall projections. With a potential for moderate to briefly heavy snowfall rates across portions of southeast South Dakota and Siouxland with the initial snow band Friday afternoon/night, the Winter Storm Watch has been expanded to cover most of our forecast area for Friday afternoon through Saturday evening.
  • This system will cause disruptions to post-Thanksgiving Day travel, so be sure to keep up to date with the latest forecast and be prepared to adjust your travel plans.
  • It turns much colder at the start of next week, with the potential for lows below zero degrees Sunday night/Monday morning.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 355 AM CST Thu Nov 27 2025

THANKSGIVING DAY: A quiet day for those traveling today with
partly to mostly cloudy skies and relatively light winds. Low
clouds drifting south into northern parts of the forecast area
may persist much of the day and combined with recent snowpack,
will hold high temperatures in the mid to even lower 20s north
of the I-90 corridor. Mid-level clouds currently sliding across
our southwest counties are expected to see more thinning, with
more afternoon sun over snow-free ground which should allow for
highs in the mid 30s through the Missouri River Valley.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY NIGHT: Main focus for the post-holiday period
remains on a strengthening storm system which will impact a
large portion of the northern Plains-Upper Midwest. The event
will begin for the local area with expansion/development of a
narrow band of snow west of I-29 by midday Friday in response to
increasing warm advection/mid-level frontogenesis beneath the
right entrance region of a 100+ kt upper jet. Model soundings
also indicate a neutrally stable to slightly unstable layer
above the frontal surface, which could aid in narrowing the snow
band with a potential for briefly heavy snowfall rates by Friday
afternoon and evening. This currently appears to be focused from
northwest to southeast across southeast South Dakota into the
Sioux City area. HREF localized probability matched mean (LPMM)
QPF for just Friday afternoon shows bands of 0.10 to 0.25" of
liquid with isolated higher pockets, which could translate to a
quick 1 to 3 inches of snow by Friday evening.

This band would then pivot northeastward through Friday evening,
with forcing for the snowband gradually weakening overnight as
the lead jet exits east and mid-level front begins to weaken.
Energy will become refocused across eastern Nebraska and Iowa
later Friday night through Saturday as the mid-upper trough
digs southeast into Iowa, becoming slightly negatively tilted
as a stronger upper jet digs into the base of the trough through
the central Plains. A broad area of light snow will continue
across much of southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota
during this time as the inverted trough slides through the area.
However, the greater potential for heavier rates has shifted a
bit south, still clipping areas along and east of the IA/MN
Highway 60 corridor with 70-90% probabilities of exceeding 6
inches of snow, and 40-70% probabilities of exceeding 8 inches.

Although probability of greater than 6 inches is lower across
southeast South Dakota/Siouxland (30-60% along and east of the
James River Valley), the potential for a heavier burst Friday
afternoon/evening is concerning given Friday is the start of the
post-holiday travel period. Add in that light snow will persist
through the following 24-30 hours into Saturday evening, opted
for expansion of the Winter Storm Watch across all but a few of
our counties in south central South Dakota.

Will also have to watch wind speeds/gusts, though it looks like
a good portion of this event will have our area in a slacker
pressure gradient along the inverted trough. As such, while
localized areas of blowing snow are possible, the greatest
impacts to visibility and travel will come from the falling
snow, with widespread blowing snow not currently anticipated.

Snow will gradually taper off from west to east through Saturday
afternoon/evening as the system moves into the Great Lakes.

SUNDAY ONWARD: Sunday could still be a little breezy to start
the day, but winds decrease through the day as high pressure
slides into the area. Overall, this should be the better travel
day of the 3-day post-Thanksgiving weekend for the local area
with regard to weather conditions. However, cannot predict how
quickly roads will improve so be sure to check the latest road
conditions before heading out.

The first half of next week will feature a much colder air
mass, with temperatures further limited by expected widespread
snow cover. Low level (925-850MB) temperatures Sunday-Monday
will reside in the favored temperature range (DGZ: -12 to -18C)
for what I like to call insta-flurries, so cannot rule out
scattered flurries with any low cloud coverage. However, models
differ on the amount of moisture within this layer, so will not
introduce this to the forecast at this time.

The colder low levels will translate to surface temperatures
well below normal as we head into early December, though the
latest models do not keep the significant cold around for long
with an upward trend in temperatures by the middle of next week.
Still, will have to watch for possible sub-zero low temperatures
Sunday night in response to clearing skies/light winds and fresh
snowcover.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1135 AM CST Thu Nov 27 2025

Latest satellite shows a broad stretch of MVFR/IFR stratus across
the area late this morning along and north of highway-18. This batch
of stratus will continue to sink southwards through the afternoon
and into the evening hours. Ceilings will return to VFR levels in
its wake. Light northwest winds will persist through the rest of
today before turning out of the southeast tomorrow morning. Snow
will be beginning to fall across south central South Dakota tomorrow
morning within a band. This band will push eastwards through the
rest of the morning hours and should reach KHON and KSUX by the end
of the TAF period. Ceilings look to remain mostly VFR though could
drop to MVFR thresholds depending on low level humidity.
