SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) -- Notice the smoke in the air? We have been following wildfire smoke and our own fire danger here in KELOLAND.

It was a hot summer day today with highs in the 80s, 90s, and 100s. The 100-degree heat will be in western South Dakota where Red Flag Warnings were issued due to high fire danger.
