southeast into the area behind a passing cold front. Visibilities
will be reduced through the nighttime hours, as low as around one
mile in some areas, especially across northwest South Dakota. If
driving, slow down, use your low-beam headlights, and leave plenty
of distance ahead of you if you encounter thicker areas of smoke.
Individuals with respiratory problems should avoid excessive
physical exertion and minimize outdoor activities.
