Rangeland Fire Danger Statement
National Weather Service Aberdeen SD
219 AM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Smoke will shift northwards as winds come around to the southwest
ahead of a cool front. Hotter air will surge out ahead of the front,
with a limited uptick in dewpoints, meaning afternoon relative
humidity will bottom out around 25% in central SD with 30 to 50%
elsewhere. Weak storms (isolated to scattered coverage) will line up
along and ahead of the front this afternoon/evening, mainly across
the northern tier of the state. Could be some small hail and gusty
winds associated with this convection.

Cooler temperatures will return for Tuesday along with a wind switch
to the northwest.

...MODERATE FIRE DANGER...

Marginal weather conditions or lowering moisture content of grasses,
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.


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