.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 157 AM CST Tue Dec 23 2025

Sfc high pressure dominates today with dry conditions. The upper
ridge builds in late today leading to well above normal temperatures
Wednesday and Thursday by about 10 to 25 degrees. Areas south of I-
90 are forecast to pop into the 60s on Christmas Day. Although
temperatures will be a bit cooler in northeast and east central SD,
highs in the upper 30s will still lead to some snow melt. Can`t rule
out some patchy morning fog in areas that had snow melt and
therefore some latent llm this morning through Thursday morning.

Continuing to watch the sfc low moving off the Rockies and into the
Plains late Thursday into Friday. Most of the moisture remains
locked across southern Canada and North Dakota/northern MN. Some of
the mid level moisture clips far northeast SD/west central MN
Thursday night/Friday, but maintaining a mostly dry forecast into
the weekend for now.
