.DISCUSSION...

An area of low pressure over south central Canada will drag a cold
front south of our area this morning. Despite the cold front, the
mild air will remain, with highs mainly in the 50s today and Sunday.

There is a 40 to 50 percent chance of light rain Monday into Monday
evening. Lingering precipitation will mix with and change over to
light snow Tuesday morning into the early afternoon hours as much
colder air sinks in. There is potential for northwest winds gusting
35 to over 45 mph on Tuesday. The strongest winds are expected over
central South Dakota. Grassland Fire Danger Index values may rise
into the high to potentially very high category over portions of
central South Dakota Tuesday afternoon. If precipitation falls,
lower values are expected.

...HIGH FIRE DANGER...

Unfavorable weather conditions and low moisture content of grasses,
and other dry organic material on the ground, indicate that there
is high potential for a fire to spread.  Outdoor burning should be
restricted to early morning or evening hours when wind speeds are
usually lower and the relative humidity is higher.


The outlook for Sunday afternoon...The grassland fire danger index
will reach the moderate category.
