342 FNUS63 KFSD 311936 RFDFSD Rangeland Fire Danger Statement National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 236 PM CDT Sat Oct 31 2026 .DISCUSSION... The wet and dreary conditions persists as highs touch the low to mid 60s for the day. With wet fuels and elevated dew points, expect any resulting fire concerns to be on the low end for the rest of the day. Looking ahead, increasing surface winds will drive most of our moderate to high fire risk from Sunday through Tuesday. However, with increasing precipitation chances, dew points will be too elevated and fuels will be too wet to make difference. Otherwise, should see more lush green grasses as sunshine return by late week keeping any fire concerns to a minimum.
