An arctic cold front is on the move this morning. Temperatures are already falling in much of northern and central KELOLAND. That north wind is adding to the wind chill factor as well.
Wind chill advisories are in effect for much of northern and far eastern KELOLAND today due to the wind and falling temperatures.
Futurecast shows the falling numbers hour-by-hour. We expect far western KELOLAND to stay in the 20s today. After a very cold start to the morning East River, temperatures will slowly moderate through the day. Sioux Falls will hopefully recover into the teens by the evening. Rapid City will recover the fastest tomorrow, with high near 50 expected.
The wind forecast will be strongest this morning, with a few gusts near 40mph from the north. Wind speeds are expected to go down tonight.
