362 FNUS63 KFSD 012052 RFDFSD Rangeland Fire Danger Statement National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 252 PM CST Sun Nov 1 2026 .DISCUSSION... Another dreary day continues with highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s. While conditions stay dry for now, still expecting increase precipitation chances this evening. This along with marginally breezy surface winds and higher dew points will keep our fire concerns to a minimum for now. Looking ahead, period of light to moderate precipitation through Wednesday will dampen fuels and elevated dew points/RH values. Any fire concerns would be primarily driven by the stronger winds. With this in mind, still expecting the fire concerns to be on the lower end moving forward.
