Remember, if you need a plan, so do they!

A RED FLAG WARNING has been issued for portions of southeastern SD today. Warm temperatures combined with dry vegetation, gusty winds and lower humidity pose a significant risk for wildfires. Be careful and help #KeepSDsafe

4/8/2024: Our strong spring storm will wind down today. This morning, one last burst of snow will move through the area, especially for northeastern Wyoming and the northern Black Hills. The morning commute will be affected. The storm will wind down this afternoon. #SDwx #WYwx

Chilly today then warmer for the rest of the week #sdwx #wywx

[SDDOT @SouthDakotaDOT]

The combination of accumulated snow, precipitation refreezing on roadways, and strong winds is causing snow-packed and ice-covered roads along Interstates 90 and 29 throughout South Dakota this morning, Tuesday, March 26, 2024.

[NWS Rapid City @NWSRapidCity]

Two rounds of winter weather will impact the region tonight through Monday. Round 1 will move through tonight with rain/snow over most of western SD & NE WY and freezing rain over south central SD. Most areas will see minor accumulations but south central could pick up 0.1-0.2"

[South Dakota Department of Public Safety @SDPublicSafety]

A Winter Storm Watch will cover most of SD. Stay current with weather forecasts from a trusted source. There are two weather systems to watch for. You may need to change travel plans. Road conditions can be found at SD DOT’s free app SD511 or by calling 511. #keepSDsafe

[NWS Rapid City @NWSRapidCity]

Light snow late Friday, and then a bigger system will bring rain, snow, wind, and colder temperatures to the area this weekend. Most likely place for heavy snow in our area will be NW and central SD. #sdwx #wywx

[Readygov @Readygov]

If local officials ask you to evacuate, that means your pet should evacuate too.

Make a plan! Many public shelters & hotels do not allow pets inside.

Know a safe place where you can take your pets, then practice evacuating with them to reduce stress & worry during an emergency.

[NWS Rapid City @NWSRapidCity]

Mostly sunny and mild today and Tuesday. Breezy winds today will help to produce elevated fire weather conditions. Cooler air builds into the region mid to late week, with increasing chances for light rain and snow. #wywx #sdwx

[Readygov @Readygov]

Get the whole family involved in preparedness! Kids need to be included.

We have games and books you can use to practice preparing for a disaster on Ready Kids.

By now you likely changed your clocks, but have you tested your smoke alarms? 🤔

#PushTheButton, not your luck! 🍀

Make sure your smoke alarms work — check the sound. If you don't hear anything, you may need to replace the batteries.
