Elevated Grassland Fire Danger on Tuesday

There are multiple opportunities for thunderstorms over the area today into this evening. The initial potential will be over central SD, with the thunderstorms moving to the east-northeast across northeastern SD and into west central MN by this evening. The strongest storms have the potential to produce hail to the size of quarters and winds to 60 mph. Heavy rain is also expected in any of these thunderstorms.

The combination of low relative humidities, westerly winds gusting to 30 to 35 mph, and dry grasses will lead to High to Very High Grassland Fire Danger in North Central South Dakota on Tuesday. Make sure to avoid outdoor burning on Tuesday, as any outdoor fires could quickly spread.
