We continue to enjoy the spring-like weather with temperatures typically seen in April. But with the lack of precipitation and warmer temperatures, fire dangers continue to increase. Already, the National Weather Service has placed counties in south-central and southeast, South Dakota under a Fire Weather Watch for Sunday evening.
Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor buring is not recommended.
