Special Weather Statement issued October 10 at 2:46AM CDT by NWS Sioux Falls SD
South winds gusting as high as 40 to 45 mph will develop quickly by mid to late morning. Wind speeds will ease across east-central South Dakota by mid afternoon, while the stronger gusts linger in southwest Minnesota through sunset. These strong winds, combined with near-record warmth and humidity levels as low as 25 to 35 percent, will produce elevated fire weather concerns today. Grassland fire danger will reach the High category, with locally higher fire danger in cured croplands and grasses. Avoid outdoor burning and use extra caution with equipment in dry crops, as rapid fire spread is possible. In addition to the elevated fire danger, winds gusting over 40 mph may produce areas of blowing dust, locally reducing visibility and air quality.

About
Lake Shetek State Park sits on the shores of Minnesota's largest lake in the southwest prairie region, offering a mix of camping experiences across three distinct campgrounds. Oak Woods Campground provides 32 electric sites with 50-amp service, 6 non-electric sites, 7 cart-in sites, and 4 camper cabins, all shaded beneath old-growth oaks. Cart-in sites include tent pads and require a short walk from the parking area. The camper cabins feature small porches with outdoor picnic tables and fire rings. Sunrise Campground caters to RV campers with 32 full-hookup sites providing water, sewer, and 50-amp electric connections. The campground features two picnic shelters with solar panels as part of a reduced carbon footprint design. Prairie Campground offers 12 rustic sites for tents and smaller campers in a large grassy area bordered by shade trees. The park also includes a wilderness group camp on Park Lake accommodating up to 30 people with vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. Park amenities include flush toilets, vault toilets, hot showers, drinking water, and a park office with a gift shop selling ice and firewood from May through September.
