...Elevated Fire Weather Concerns on Sunday...

.DISCUSSION...

The weekend is looking warmer and drier, with 70s to lower 80s by
Sunday. There are elevated fire weather concerns on Sunday for
local areas where green-up has not yet occurred in southeast MT,
northwest SD, and Sheridan County, WY, where there will be a
combination of warm temperatures, winds gusts 35-45 mph, and
minimum humidity in the 20-25 percent range. The warmup will be
short-lived as confidence is high that a dynamic spring storm
system will impact us next week...with cooler temps, significant
rain and mountain snow, and strong northwest winds. Areas over the
eastern districts (Sioux Ranger, Custer, Ashland Ranger) may see
1-2 inches of liquid precipitation through midweek (probability
40-70% >1.00 inches). Please continue to monitor over the coming
days. BT
