Sioux Falls residents, get ready for a wild weather ride! A brief warm-up is on the horizon, but don’t get too comfortable—blustery conditions are set to sweep in this weekend. Here’s what to expect and how to prepare for the rapid changes.
Thursday, January 23: A Chilly Start
Today, temperatures will reach a high of 19°F (-7°C) with increasing cloud cover. Breezy conditions will make it feel even colder, so bundle up if you’re heading outside.
Friday, January 24: A Brief Warm-Up
Friday brings a temporary reprieve from the cold, with temperatures climbing to 35°F (2°C). However, breezy conditions in the afternoon will persist, so while it’s warmer, the wind chill will still have a bite.
Saturday, January 25: Blustery and Colder
The warmth won’t last long. Saturday ushers in stronger winds and a drop in temperatures, with highs around 28°F (-2°C). The combination of wind and cold will make it feel much chillier, so plan accordingly.
How to Prepare for the Weekend Weather
- Dress in Layers: With fluctuating temperatures, wearing layers will help you adjust to the changing conditions.
- Secure Loose Items: Strong winds can turn everyday objects into hazards. Ensure that outdoor furniture and decorations are secured or brought inside.
- Stay Informed: Weather can change rapidly. Keep an eye on local forecasts and be prepared to adjust your plans as needed.
Sioux Falls is in for a swift shift from a brief warm-up to blustery conditions this weekend. Stay ahead of the weather by staying informed and prepared for whatever Mother Nature has in store.
