A strengthening area of low pressure over Minnesota brought high winds to central, north-central, and northeastern South Dakota from the afternoon hours on Tuesday, April 5th, through the evening hours on April 7th. Some of the highest wind gusts include 65 mph 17 miles west of Polo and 2 miles north of the Pierre Regional Airport and 64 mph 13 miles north of Vivian. The long-duration wind event caused sporadic tree damage and shingles to blow off of roofs. The Redfield Press reported roof damage to the Northwestern High School in Spink County with different materials, including metal, blown off the school. Light, accumulating snowfall combined with the very strong winds to produce periods of reduced visibility over northeastern South Dakota. Various activities were canceled or postponed, including area schools.
