Areas of fog expected on the South Dakota plains

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – Skies are partly cloudy overnight with fog developing across the South Dakota plains, east of the Black Hills. There could be some pockets of freezing drizzle within the low clouds and fog, so be sure to use caution in the morning as slippery spots may be present. Lows will range from the 20s to 30s.

Fog will continue across much of western South Dakota, otherwise it will be partly cloudy. Highs will range from the 40s to the 50s across the region. Showers will move into the region Friday night and continue through the weekend. Foggy conditions will be likely for many on Saturday, but should improve by Sunday.

While the majority of moisture is expected to fall as rain, there could be some snow showers at times in portions of the Black Hills and northeast Wyoming. Accumulations aren’t much of a concern as of right now, but an inch or two could be possible in some isolated spots. Temperatures will be in the 40s for much of the area this weekend, with some in the 30s on Sunday.

The first half of next week will be mild once again as high temperatures return to the 50s with a fair amount of sunshine, but by the second half of the week the temperatures are forecast to drop back into the 40s and possibly 30s.
