Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT

...Red Flag Warning in effect from 9 AM to 8 PM MDT Wednesday for
   portions of Southeast Montana... and all of Eastern Sheridan
   County Wyoming...

...Red Flag Warning in effect until 8 PM MDT Wednesday for portions
   of Southeast Montana... and portions of Northwest South Dakota...

.DISCUSSION...
Warm and dry conditions today will give way to a mild night with
poor RH recovery tonight. Look for a dry Pacific cold front to
arrive Wednesday morning. This front will shift winds to the
northwest and produce 20 to 30 mph gusts for much of the day.
Humidities will gradually rise from north to south through the
day. Wednesday night will be cooler with a much better humidity
recovery. Look for cooler temps and light winds Thursday. The
next time period of concern is late Friday and Saturday. Expect
warm/mixed/breezy conditions Friday, a cold front Friday night,
and potentially strong west to northwest winds late Friday night
and Saturday. We still see no meaningful rainfall over the
foreseeable future. JKL
