High temps, strong winds spark raging South Dakota wildfires


Associated Press - February 17, 2011 8:55 AM ET

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota wildfire officials say high temperatures and strong winds have sparked a rash of strong wildfires in the Black Hills area on private land.

The National Weather Service office in Rapid City posted a wind advisory until late Thursday afternoon, saying gusts could reach 50 mph.

Rapid City saw record-high temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday, but forecasters say a cool-down is coming. Some parts of western South Dakota could get several inches of snow this weekend.
