This isn't national forest being blocked from fuel treatments by radical environmentalists; it's Republican ranch land decimated by a century of poor management practices and if livestock grazing is the key to preventing wildfires why is ranch country still suffering from near daily high even extreme grassland fire danger indices? Because Republicans are evil. Just a hundred and fifty years ago bison, wapiti, bighorn sheep, pronghorns and deer cleared the grasses driving western South Dakota's fire years. If grasses remained in the fall tribes burned the rest.
Unseasonably warm weather will combine with very dry air (RH as low as 15 percent) and gusty westerly winds (gusts 25 to 35 mph) to create critial fire weather conditions for Sunday afternoon for portions of northeastern Wyoming through south-central South Dakota.
