Souh Dakota weather and wildfires -
we are much better off than Wyoming (Devil's Tower) and Nebraska (and California)

Triple-digit temps continue[d]statewide [on Tuesday]
SIOUX FALLS (AP) — Another day of scorching heat and high winds Sunday fueled wildfires and sent South Dakotans scampering for the nearest swimming hole, but it was cooler than Saturday.
The mercury again topped 100 degrees throughout much of the state, including Buffalo, Faith, Mobridge, Rapid City, Philip, Pine Ridge, Pierre, Winner, Chamberlain, Huron, Yankton and Aberdeen.
High temperatures east of the James River Valley ["east river"]were mostly in the 90s because of clouds, according to the National Weather Service.
And, unlike Saturday, few if any records were broken, because July 16, 1936, was so hot and Sunday’s temperatures were a bit cooler, Joe Sheehan, meteorologist at the weather service in Sioux Falls, said.
“On this date in ’36, it was 118 in Kennebec and 116 in Mobridge,” he said. “So it’s going to be tough to break those records.”
On Saturday, temperatures climbed to 115 degrees in Pierre and Philip, 114 in Mobridge, 111 in Chamberlain and Faith, 108 in Rapid City, Aberdeen and Mitchell, 100 in Yankton and 99 in Sioux Falls.
The National Weather Service had a report Saturday of 120 degrees near Usta, in northwest South Dakota, but that has yet to be verified, Sheehan said.
In central South Dakota, lightning was the likely cause of several grass fires in Hughes, Hyde and Stanley counties. The biggest blaze was near Fort Pierre National Grassland. Smoke from that fire could be seen in Pierre and Fort Pierre.
A belt of trees in Warner caught fire Saturday and eventually spread to an alfalfa field, Freddie Robinson, director of Brown County Emergency Management, said. Two firefighters suffered minor problems from the heat.
Firefighters throughout South Dakota have doused other wildfires during the past several days because of the hot, dry weather that has caused other problems.
Propane tanks overheated Saturday at Blue Dog Lake and Pickerel Lake and forced the lids to pop off, according to the Day County Sheriff’s Office.
A power transformer on Northern State University’s campus in Aberdeen overheated and caught fire Saturday evening, according to a police report.
The fire caused power outages throughout the campus but not in any surrounding homes, a NorthWestern Energy spokesman said. Two of NorthWestern’s own transformers also overheated in Aberdeen.
Power outages were also reported in Warner and Straford.
