Special Weather Statement issued October 10 at 1:47AM CDT by NWS Aberdeen SD

Details

Warm and dry conditions will combine with strong wind gusts today
to create elevated fire weather concerns over the area this
afternoon. Due to abnormal warmth, minimum afternoon humidity
will drop to 25 to 35 percent. Strong southerly winds are expected
this morning, gusting up to 25 to 35 miles per hour. Some
localized gusts up to 45 miles per hour will be possible. Winds
are expected to decrease through the afternoon, meaning that the
strongest winds will not coincide with the lowest afternoon
humidity. However, gusts up to 30 miles per hour may linger into
the afternoon. Grassland Fire Danger will reach the High Category
as a result of the wind and humidity combination. Additionally,
these strong winds may create blowing dust today, causing
visibility reductions at times.
