.DISCUSSION...

A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND
NEBRASKA WILL SLOWLY LIFT TO THE NORTHEAST THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
NORTHERLY WINDS OF 5 MPH...OCCASIONALLY REACHING 10 MPH...WILL
DEVELOP BY IGNITION TIME. WINDS WILL SLOWLY SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST
BY THE LATE AFTERNOON. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND HIGH TEMPERATURES
NEAR 40 WILL ALLOW THE MINIMUM DAY TIME RELATIVE HUMIDITY TO FALL
TO ONLY 50 TO 55 PERCENT. THE BEST CHANCE FOR LIGHT RAIN OR
FREEZING RAIN WILL OCCUR IN THE LATE MORNING...HOWEVER...LESS
THAN 0.05 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED. DUE TO LIMITED
MIXING AND WINDS...SMOKE DISPERSAL WILL BE POOR.
