813 FNUS53 KFSD 182031 FWFFSD Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SE SD/SW MN/NW IA/NE Nebraska National Weather Service Sioux Falls SD 331 PM CDT Fri Oct 18 2019 .DISCUSSION... Front continues to move across the region as of late afternoon with gusty southerly winds ahead of it and breezy westerly winds behind. Winds will begin to diminish after sunset. While min RH values will remain above critical values, humidity values in the mid 30s to mid 40s will lead to some fire weather concerns in areas of drier fuels. Breezy, although not as strong, westerly winds and dry conditions will continue into Saturday. Winds quickly increase on Sunday ahead of a potent upper system. This system will bring rainfall Sunday night through Monday to much of the region. SDZ255-191130- Lower Brule And Lake Andes Vicinity- 331 PM CDT Fri Oct 18 2019 .TONIGHT...
