Strong Storm Potential Tonight and Monday Night

Temperatures look to remain near seasonal normals as we move through this last full week of August 2026. A chance of showers and storms in south-central South Dakota today will expand east tonight into early Monday morning, with additional isolated to scattered storms possible Monday night. A stronger storm or two will be possible during the evening to overnight, with storms tonight also bringing a risk of locally heavy rain.

While chances for organized severe weather are generally low, a Level 1 of 5 (Marginal) risk for severe storms remains in place across portions of eastern South Dakota for tonight and Monday night. Details on timing and location are very uncertain, but if stronger storms develop, isolated large hail or damaging winds would be the primary threats. Storms tonight may also produce localized heavier rainfall.
