.DISCUSSION...

Idaho (Zones 102 and 103): A weak ridge building in today will cause
mostly clear skies. Temperatures will be cooler than yesterday, but this
is an overall drier air mass so the humidity will still drop into the
low 20s and upper teens today. Tomorrow will trend warmer and drier.


Northwest MT (Zones 104 and 105): A weak ridge building in today will
cause mostly clear skies. Temperatures will be cooler than yesterday,
but this is an overall drier air mass so the humidity will still drop
into the low 20s and upper teens today. Tomorrow will trend warmer and
drier.


West Central MT (Zones 106, 107 and 108): A weak ridge building in
today will cause mostly clear skies. Temperatures will be cooler than
yesterday, but this is an overall drier air mass so the humidity will
still drop into the low 20s and upper teens today. Tomorrow will trend
warmer and drier.


Southwest MT (Zones 109, 110 and 111): A weak ridge building in today
will cause mostly clear skies. Temperatures will be cooler than
yesterday, but this is an overall drier air mass so the humidity will
still drop into the low 20s and upper teens today. Tomorrow will trend
warmer and drier.
