311 AM CDT Wed Jul 30 2025

.DISCUSSION...

While most will remain dry over the next few days, there is a 20 to
40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly west of the
Missouri River today and tonight. No severe weather is expected at
this time. High pressure over south central Canada will push a ridge
of mainly dry high pressure across eastern South Dakota through the
rest of the work week, with high temperatures 5 to 10 degrees below
normal for this time of year.

Winds today will be out of the east to northeast, with gusts of 20 to
25 mph. Relative humidity values will fall into the 45 to 60 percent
range this afternoon, lowest over portions of central South Dakota.

and other dry organic material on the ground, indicate that there is
some potential for a fire to spread.  Any outdoor burning should be
closely monitored.

will reach the moderate category.

...LOW FIRE DANGER...

Favorable weather conditions or a high moisture content of grasses,
and other dry organic material on the ground, indicate that the
probability of a fast moving fire is low.  Outdoor burning under
these conditions can usually be performed with reasonable safety
precautions, but should be monitored.


The outlook for Thursday afternoon...The grassland fire danger index
will reach the low category.
