Dry and breezy conditions this weekend in South Dakota are raising concerns about fire danger, especially on Saturday. Residents should exercise caution and avoid outdoor burning. Winds are expected to increase Saturday, creating conditions conducive to the spread of fire. The National Weather Service in Sioux Falls advises people to stay informed and remain vigilant.
According to the National Weather Service, dry weather will persist into early next week, with temperatures rising. Saturday’s high is expected to range from 57 to 65 degrees, with the highest winds likely in the afternoon. Sunday will bring clearer skies and warmer temperatures, with highs reaching up to 72 degrees. The fire danger is expected to remain elevated through the weekend due to continued dry air.
