High Winds and Heat Today — Secure Your Patio Furniture
Veblen, SD · July 12, 2026
Sunday morning feels a bit quieter now that the fair trailers have headed out of the county. It is a good day to stay near the AC or find a deep patch of shade before the afternoon gusts pick up.
📰 The Lead
With the Marshall County Fair wrapping up last night, the rhythm of the weekend shifts back to the home front today. It is going to be a scorcher, hitting 92 degrees with a steady 19 mph wind that is likely to kick up some dust on the gravel roads. City officials are reminding residents to keep an eye on elderly neighbors and ensure outdoor pets have plenty of water. If you are planning on heading to the park or working in the garden, the early morning hours are your best bet before the midday sun takes over. The wind might feel like a relief, but it will dry things out quickly, so hold off on any controlled burning or large outdoor projects that could be affected by a stray spark.
