These statistics show a broad range of temperatures for Halloween in the Sioux Falls area. It looks like we won't be seeing any record lows, as our temperatures still look to be slightly above average (the average high for today is 54 degrees). Look for highs to be at least close to 60s, either in the upper 50s or low 60s.

Cody and I will be keeping our eye on a fairly weak area of colder air trying to make its way into our area for the Halloween time period. That will really govern just how high or low we go for that day.

If you look at eastern South Dakota and western Minnesota you'll see some greens and blues approaching. Those are your colder air regions. It's a fine line right now between warmer and cooler temperatures, so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy those potential 70s that Cody mentioned below. Have a great night!
