Elevated Fire Danger Sunday

Looking Ahead Into the Week

Very warm, dry and breezy conditions on Sunday will combine to produce a very high fire danger. A Fire Weather Watch is in effect for areas west of the James River from Noon to 6 PM CST Sunday. Please use caution to avoid sparking a fire due to the very dry conditions.

Temperatures will continue to run 25-35 degrees above normal through the start of next week with breezy conditions tomorrow and Tuesday likely to lead to elevated to critical fire danger, especially in south-central South Dakota. A gradual cooldown to more average temperatures will occur Wednesday and especially Thursday, when there will come the next chance for precipitation, potentially some accumulating snowfall.
