.DISCUSSION...
The main weather feature worth monitoring over the next couple of
days will be a storm system tracking over Idaho toward the
northeast over Southeast Montana. This will mean cloudy and cool
overall temperatures with increasing chances for rain showers and
isolated thunder tonight through the middle of the week. Tonight
specifically, look for north winds ranging from 5 to 15 mph,
gusting to 20 mph at times. Showers will tend to be hit or miss
until late tonight but become steadier on Wednesday, this is when

will also continue at the 10 to 20 mph range with occasional
stronger gusts on Wednesday.
