Special Weather Statement issued April 18 at 1:08PM CDT by NWS Sioux Falls SD

Effective: Sat April 18, 2026, 1:08 PM
Expires: Sat April 18, 2026, 7:00 PM

A combination of strong northwest winds, a few gusts around 40 mph, as well as afternoon relative humidity around 15 to 20 percent, will lead to near critical fire weather conditions. While many fuels are seeing a quick green up, warm season tall grasses are still lagging and continue to be nearly fully cured. Fires will spread rapidly and show erratic behavior. Outdoor burning is not recommended.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
