What Was the Cause of Smoke on Sioux Falls’ South Side on Tuesday?
A smoky haze drifted with the light winds over southern Sioux Falls on Tuesday afternoon. We received a few calls and shortly thereafter social media began buzzing about the heavy firewood smell and the limited visibility.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State
To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
