Here's the latest snowfall amounts, road conditions and closelines.
The amount of snow will vary by different locations. According to the KELOLAND Live Doppler HD Storm Center, Snow totals will mainly stay in a 'nuisance' range across the region, with 3 inches or less catching much of the region.
Some local banding from Watertown to Winner will be watched, along with heavier totals tonight southeast of Sioux Falls into NW IA and SW MN.

At 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, the South Dakota Department of Transportation said 'rain, freezing rain, snowfall, and extremely high winds are making travel difficult across a large portion of the state.'

Take time to prepare before you hike in Custer State Park
CUSTER, S.D. (KELO) — Throughout the summer months, Custer State Park is a popular vacation spot for people looking for a good hike. With that, many of the trails in the park are difficult and could be dangerous if you aren't prepared. New Rock Valley housing developments 1 year after flood Rolled ankles, dehydration and getting lost are some of the things Custer County Search and Rescue respond to along these scenic trails. 'People are not being prepared. Not understanding the Black Hills, the weather that we have, not having the supplies or resources available. Again, no maps, not knowing where they are going, checking the trailheads and looking for the diamonds. Understanding what different agencies use for markers,' Visitors Services Supervisor Lydia Austin said. Custer State Park is home to more than 70 miles of trails for people to bike or hike on at a higher elevation than most expect. 'We're at a higher elevation than what most people are used to. We're dryer, so people get dehydrated more easily out here. The hikes are strenuous and long, so they don't want to carry a heavy pack so they don't take quite as much water,' Custer County Search & Rescue Director Sam Smolnisky said. 'Listen to your body, maybe don't finish the hike. If you're hiking, maybe Black Elk Peak and you realize you're getting tired, you can turn around, it's okay. Make that your high point and come back down and make the trip enjoyable for yourself and don't end up in a rescue because that's not fun for anybody,' Austin said. In addition to bringing more water, layers, and having your phone fully charged, downloading trail apps can help. 'There are apps on your phone, whether it's Avenza, onX, Gaia, CalTopo, that can run offline. So you don't need to have cell service in order to access those apps and figure out where you're at,' Smolnisky said. Wildlife at the park roam around freely and can end up on your trail. If a bison or other animal approaches you, try to get around them, and keep a decent distance as you continue your hike. Search and Rescue also says it is important for people who need help to make the call themselves if able so they can pinpoint your location as quickly as possible. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Storm Center PM Update: Warmth Returns by Tuesday; Rain to Follow
SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO) — It has been a rather windy day at times, but it has also been mainly quiet otherwise. We've also dealt with another round of smoky skies across a good portion of the region due to Canadian wildfires…with more possible at times on Monday. A wind advisory is in place through Sunday evening from northwestern South Dakota extending south and east through the Sioux Falls area. Gusts may reach and exceed 50 to 55 mph. While much of the morning and afternoon have been quiet, the exception is to the northeast. Some scattered showers and maybe an isolated rumble of thunder or two will be possible as a little impulse of energy sweeps in from north to south. A few of these showers may try to head into southeastern KELOLAND south of Highway 14 overnight, but that will be the exception to the rule. Monday and Tuesday are shaping up to be mainly quiet days beyond a few isolated showers here and there across portions of the region, including along the I-29 corridor on Monday. Better chances for rain arrive as we head into the second half of the week. With heat building, we'll have a little more fuel to work with for pop-up showers and thunderstorms from Wednesday through Friday. While the overall severe threat is pretty low here, it'll still be something to consider if you have outdoor plans in the second half of the week. We'll dry to dry out as we head into the weekend. Of the three day window between Wednesday and Friday, Thursday holds the best overall chance to see some unsettled weather in KELOLAND. Beginning on Tuesday, we'll have some typical June temperatures to enjoy…with highs in the 80s and low 90s at times for several portions of the region. Though a few days may be cooler, that will be due to the aforementioned rain. Beyond the 7 day forecast, odds for above average temperatures are favored.
