The @SDMesonet station in Sioux Falls Outdoor Campus is standing in water this morning as the Big Sioux River is in flood stage. This is from the webcam at the station.
It's a wet day for many of us according to the @SDMesonet ... #rain is ongoing and will pick up again for most eastern locations today and tomorrow. mesonet.sdstate.edu #SDag

Northern Lights dancing over Bear Butte and the Missouri River as caught by our weather cameras in Sturgis and Lower Brule, South Dakota. Fascinating to see the same event from different angles across the state!

Despite the recent rain slowing us down, our technicians have begun a 4th year of enhanced station installations. We are excited to bring year-round, real time weather to new locations across SD and upgrade a few familiar sites with better equipment along the way. Stay tuned!
