...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 8 PM MDT WEDNESDAY...

...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 8 PM MDT WEDNESDAY DUE TO
GUSTY WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY FOR SOUTHERN BLACK HILLS, FALL
RIVER COUNTY AREA, CUSTER COUNTY PLAINS, PINE RIDGE AREA, BADLANDS
AREA, BENNETT COUNTY AREA, SOUTHERN CAMPBELL, AND WESTON COUNTY
PLAINS...

.A cold front will move through early Wednesday morning. Behind the
cold front, strong northwest winds from 25 to 35 mph with gusts from
40 to 55 mph are expected. Minimum relative humidity values will dip
as low as 18 percent, which is higher than normal thresholds.
However, the strong winds will make up the difference as well as
antecedent D2 to D3 drought and very dry weather over the past 1-2
weeks. Thus, critical fire weather conditions are expected for parts
of northeastern Wyoming and southwestern South Dakota late Wednesday
morning through the early evening hours.

The National Weather Service in Rapid City SD has issued a Red Flag
Warning.

* WINDS...Northwest winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts from 40 to 55 mph.

* RELATIVE HUMIDITY...Relative Humidity as low as 18 percent.

* IMPACTS...Any fires that develop will spread rapidly. Outdoor
burning is not recommended.

either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of strong winds,
low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can contribute to
extreme fire behavior.
