What to Expect: Thanksgiving Weather in Sioux Falls, 2025

I think Sioux Falls has gotten a little taste of every season this November. We've had some hot days, some very cold days, a few inches of snow, and finally this week, lots of rain. What's next, an earthquake?

It's all part of fall in South Dakota. It's a transition season from summer to winter. Mother Nature needs to work the last of the summer wine out of her system before winter can get rolling in earnest.

Thanksgiving 2025 falls a little later in the month this year; November 27 is the last Thursday of the month. That’s just a week away, are you ready? Got your grocery list ready? Or your travel plans? Speaking of travel, what's the weather going to be like on Thanksgiving in Sioux Falls?

Early Forecast for Thanksgiving 2025 in Sioux Falls

The first thing to keep in mind is that we are still in this transition phase, so the weather could be a little unstable and hard to predict. Also, we are about seven days out, and getting an accurate weather forecast that far in advance is still a tricky business. Two or three days out, forecasts will be pretty right on; further than that, it's tough.

Snow Chances on Thanksgiving

It's looking like the big headline for the end of next week will be cold. A mass of cold air is poised to slide south from Arctic Canada and plunge temperatures into the teens at night by the end of the month.

The Weather Channel's 10-day forecast for Sioux Falls shows Thanksgiving to be a dry and cold day with high temperatures around 25 °F.

The 10-day forecast from our friends at Dakota News Now has Sioux Falls a few degrees warmer, around 33 degrees, for Thanksgiving Day.

As far as getting some snow this Thanksgiving, as of today, it's looking to be mostly dry in Sioux Falls and eastern South Dakota, while out west, there's a better chance of it.

As always, remember that the weather can change. If you're making plans for Thanksgiving, use these early predictions as a guide, but keep an eye on the forecast the closer we get to Turkey Day for the best results.
