.DISCUSSION...

Breezy west-northwest winds are expected to prevail again today,
with gusts between 30 to 40 MPH possible through the afternoon. With
minimum relative humidity values from the mid/upper 20s, elevated
fire conditions are possible, though given the current status of
the grasslands overall fire danger will remain low. Lighter winds
return Friday, with direction shifting to the S/SW. Could see
some light showers along the SD/NE border tomorrow, with chances
for light showers expanding northwards across the rest of the area
into the overnight hours.
