LOCAL CONTEXT
About Rapid City weather
Rapid City sits against the Black Hills, home to some of the fastest temperature changes on record as chinook winds off the hills battle plains cold — swings of dozens of degrees within hours are documented here. The hills also focus summer thunderstorms and once-in-a-generation floods.
