What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Rapid City, SD wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind warning went out at Apr 10, 2:27 PM MDT, 0 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion For Western SD and Northeastern WY
National Weather Service Rapid City SD
227 PM MDT Sat Apr 10 2021
.DISCUSSION...(This Evening Through Saturday)
Issued at 222 PM MDT Sat Apr 10 2021
Mean upper level troughing will dominate in the period,
supporting below normal temps with unsettled and breezy conds.
This will all ensue via an advancing clipper like system, which
will arrive tonight bringing strong winds and CAA. Clear skies and
overall light winds ongoing across the FA today with many places
seeing 60s for highs. Strong cold front will arrive late this
evening into early Sunday morning with an initial round of strong
gusty winds, strongest in the lee of the Black Hills where a
period of warning level winds will materialize via acceleration
around the hills. Gusts over 60 mph can be expected there and have
opted to upgrade the high wind watch given CAA, pressure rise
couplet, and expected flow acceleration around the hills. Also
issued a wind adv for the rest of NW into central SD, running it
through Sunday, catching the cold front and the next round of
breezy winds Sunday late morning/afternoon. There will likely be a
period of sub adv winds Sun morning, but decide to keep things
simple and just run the adv through Sunday. The high wind warning
area will need to be converted to a wind adv or extended if
stronger flow is progged. Hence, to keep things simple will defer
headline change to the mid shift. Not much moisture with this
system, but still expect some post frontal snow showers over NE WY
into NW SD, including the northern Black Hills where up to an
inch is possible. Cold pool aloft will time with diurnal heating,
Sunday, supporting convective showers Sunday afternoon, best
chance over NW SD where a little better moisture will be found.
Otherwise, cool, breezy, and increasingly unsettled weather can be
expected next week, with increasing chances for a late week storm
to affect all of a portion of the region as the western NOAM
upper trough moves east. Too much uncertainty remains in track,
timing, moisture transport, and best collocation of lift to
predict any snow/rain amounts in the Thur-Fri period at this time.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS Through 18Z Sunday)
Issued At 1140 AM MDT Sat Apr 10 2021
VFR conditions will continue through 00Z. A strong cold front will
cross northeast WY after 02Z and into far western SD around 05Z.
Very gusty winds expected, with gusts over 35 knots in northeast
WY and up to 50 knots in western SD. A few -shrasn expected behind
the front with areas of MVFR conditions possible, mainly from
northeast WY into far western SD. Gusty northwest winds to 45
knots are expected into Sunday morning.
