Just a heads up for the rest of the afternoon for portions of northeastern SD and west central MN as well! They generally pose no threat. #sdwx #mnwx

Light showers to weak thunderstorms are expected through the rest of today as well as tomorrow afternoon. The radar image displays the current storms as well as the type of coverage we expect tomorrow. The best chances for rain are over northeastern SD and western MN. #SDwx #MNwx

Wildfire smoke from Canada is expected to move over the Northern Plains, impacting central and northeastern South Dakota beginning Thursday evening. While a little smoke will reach the surface, most of it is expected to remain elevated, creating hazy skies Friday. #SDwx #MNwx

Wildfire Smoke has made its way down over the northern plains from Canada, and will continue southward tonight and into the weekend. Smoke will remain elevated on Friday creating hazy skies, but we may see some near-surface smoke moving in Saturday. #SDwx #MNwx

Smoke will be the story of the next several days. Fires in Canada means any northerly winds both aloft or at the surface means we will see more smoke across the Dakotas tomorrow and into Sunday #SDWX

Periods of poor visibility & air quality restrictions will remain through at least Sunday, and likely into at least early next week. For the latest air quality readings, and air quality forecasts, view the EPA page at airnow.gov or gispub.epa.gov/airnow/

Scattered severe storms are possible Monday afternoon into Monday evening, primarily over portions of eastern South Dakota. Stay up to date on the latest forecast for Monday, as the timing and threat area may change.

CME arrival at Earth is anticipated and a G4 Watch is now in effect for 2 Jun. CME arrival later on 1 Jun could lead to G3, with G4 potential increased on 2 Jun, and as CME passage weakens, G1-G2 still possible on 3 Jun. Full story at swpc.noaa.gov/news/g4-severe…

Smoke at ground level is following a low pressure system as it moves out of South Dakota into Nebraska. Poor air quality is already occurring over much of North Dakota and north central/northeast South Dakota and looks to stick around into Sunday #SDWX

Storms Monday will have the potential to be severe during the afternoon and evening hours across eastern/southeastern South Dakota and western Minnesota. More details to come as we get close to Monday #SDWX

Focus for the next few days will be the Canadian wildfire smoke, though a system moving through Monday could bring showers and storms to the region with a brief reprieve, though more smoke will probably follow the cold front into at least a portion of Tuesday #SDWX

Smoke aloft from Canada wildfires will continue, diminishing over central SD through the afternoon. Near surface smoke is reducing visibility to less than 3 miles at times. For the latest air quality readings visit airnow.gov or gispub.epa.gov/airnow/ #sdwx #mnwx
