SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — After a brief cool-down, the National Weather Service in Sioux Falls says spring-like temps are expected later this week, with the start of Spring just around the corner.

While temperatures today will likely remain in the low 40s, highs on Tuesday and Wednesday could reach 70 degrees in some areas.

But with the warmer weather comes an increased risk of fire danger.

Red flag warnings will likely be issued for parts of the KELO listening area, as mild temps combined with low humidity and strong winds will create conditions for wildfires to spread rapidly.
