The year the St. Patrick's Day Parade went dark
SIOUX FALL, S.D. (KELO) – The 45th annual Sioux Falls St. Patrick's Day Parade will cover Phillips Avenue in green tomorrow afternoon. Attendees might want to hold on tight to their shamrocks due to the windy and wintry storm system in the forecast. Organizers say the parade will go on, though, no matter the weather.

'We've marched in everything over the years: rain, sleet, snow, 70 degrees, t-shirts, so we're hardy people. We'll figure it out,' Shawn Cleary, the 2025 Grand Marshal, said on Tuesday.While they might be able to handle whatever Mother Nature throws at them, just five years ago something *did dim the green. The St. Patrick's Day Parade was one of the first Sioux Falls events to get cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and it didn't return until 2022. The parade has been going strong since then, though, and it doesn't look like that'll be changing this year. 'And being Irish, we're always going to look at the positive side. The moisture might bring us a little green around here, but absolutely we've seen it all and we're going to carry on and have a great time,' Ryan Murphy, St. Patrick's Day Extravaganza Committee Chair, said on Tuesday.
Other events on Saturday include the painting of the Shamrock at 11 a.m. at 9th and Phillips. The parade starts at 2 p.m., but if you don't want to brave the weather, you can watch it live here on our website.

Shift in the Jet Stream
After waves of severe storms and heavy rainfall this month, the Jet Stream is shifting after the latest rounds of storms moved out of our State last night. Going forward, at least for now, the Jet Stream is de-energized some. A 'weakness' in the flow, kind of an 'echo' of storms Monday and Tuesday of this week in Texas will move up over our State Wednesday and Thursday. There is a chance of rain and a few storms but rainfall totals will not be nearly as heavy. Mike June 9th, 2025 Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
