Once Sioux Falls fell below zero Sunday evening, it has stayed below zero through at least the morning hours on Wednesday…over 60 hours. But we’ll swing the other way for this weekend with a dramatic difference in temperatures.

This is a look at the extreme temperatures.

In Sioux Falls, the coldest February temperature is 42 below zero. It happened on February 9, 1899. On the other hand, the warmest high in February is 70, it’s happened numerous times.Aberdeen’s extremes go from a record low of 46 below zero to a record high of 70.Pierre’s extreme temperatures in February are from 35 below to a record high of 73.And finally, Rapid City ranges from 34 below to a record high of 74.

Our temperatures this week will not be that extreme, but it will still be a big difference as temperatures will go from morning lows in the teens and 20s below from earlier this week to afternoon highs in the 40s and 60s on Sunday. Just an example of how quickly the temperatures can change in February.
