Rangeland Fire Danger Statement
National Weather Service Aberdeen SD
404 AM CDT Thu Apr 3 2025

.DISCUSSION...

High pressure will settle in over the region today, bringing dry and
cool conditions. Grassland fire danger will be low due to a fresh
layer of snow cover over much of the area. Look for another chance
for rain and snow late tonight through the day Friday. Any snow
accumulations look to be two inches or less. Warmer weather looks to
finally make an appearance by the middle of next week. Minimum
relative humidity values this afternoon will be in the 55 to 80
percent range, highest across far northeastern South Dakota and west
central Minnesota.

...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 to moderate category.
