53 Years Ago South Dakota Was Hit With Historical Blizzard

A record-breaking storm hit South Dakota 53 years ago this weekend that paralyzed the state. The year was 1966...

“Windows were not built to withstand those kinds of winds and pressure like windows of today. As a result, several windows were blown in leaving snow drifts in living rooms.”

** SITUATION UPDATE ** SAT JUL 25, 2026 - 3:40PM We are likely going live later today. A high-end severe weather threat exists across eastern SD and southern MN. Winds of 80-100mph are likely with scattered hail up to 1.5" and a couple of tornadoes possible. #mnwx #sdwx #severe

A rare PDS severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for most of the eastern 3/4 of South Dakota right up to the MN state line. Storms expected to move east between US-12 and I-90 through the afternoon and evening. Storms may move into southern Minnesota later this evening.

A second area of severe storms will be along a strong warm front is slowly lifting across the area. Once the front passes, temperatures rises into the low 90s and dewpoints jump into the 70s making for oppressive humidity.

The front will stall from Albert Lea to Hinckley then to Baudette. Areas to the north and east of the front will see storms overnight that could contain large to very large hail up to baseball size with damaging winds and tornadoes being more unlikely.

Yesterday, we hit a high temperature of 57 deg F here at the house in Sioux Falls, SD. Naturally, I took the Can-Am Spyders for a ride with an obligatory stop at Wall Lake. I wasn't the only one taking advantage of the nice weatheras a father and son were ice fishing during my visit there.
