Home Return to list Areal Flood Watch 0003 Issued by the Sioux Falls Forecast Office
Action: New Issued At: 2025-07-29 14:29:24 508 WGUS63 KFSD 291929 FFAFSD URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Flood Watch National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 229 PM CDT Tue Jul 29 2025 .This watch is based off of saturated soils as much as the threat for heavy rainfall. Recent rains have left much of the area with saturated soils that cannot handle a lot of rain. Rapid runoff is likely with any heavy rain that can develop. Current expectations are that some storms will be capable of producing 2-4 inches of rain per hour which would lead to urban and small stream flooding issues. This heavier rain is expected to occur in smaller bands so confidence in exact location is still lower at this time.
