.DISCUSSION...

Strong northwesterly winds will decrease through the day today, 
eventually settling into light speeds under 5 miles per hour with 
variable direction by tonight. Snow on the ground may have trouble 
melting over northeastern South Dakota, where temperatures will 
struggle to get over freezing. Temperatures in central South Dakota 
will be a bit warmer, and likely melt what little snow fell there. 
Lowest relative humidity values over central South Dakota will be 
around 40 to over 70 percent, lowest over south central South Dakota.
Light winds and similar minimum relative humidity values are 
expected Friday.

...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 Friday afternoon...The grassland fire danger index
will reach the low to 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 Friday afternoon...The grassland fire danger index
will reach the low category.
