A significant wind event occurred from the early morning through the late day. Strong west to southwest winds developed during the early morning hours across parts of the Black Hills and foothills, when gusts of 60 to over 70 mph were recorded. A strong cold front then moved through from northwest to southeast during the morning and early afternoon. Wind gusts of 60 to over 80 mph developed and persisted through the late day. The strong winds downed some trees and caused isolated power outages in the Black Hills. The winds also helped spread significant wildfires near Mount Rushmore and just west of Rapid City.
