241 PM MDT Sat Apr 13 2024

Forecast is based on ignition time of 1500 MDT on April 13.
If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather
Service.

.DISCUSSION...Another warm day is expected on Sunday, under mostly
sunny to partly cloudy skies until late afternoon (4pm) when high
based showers/isolated thunderstorms will begin to develop. The
best chance (40%) for showers/storms will be 5-8pm Sunday with
the chance of a wetting rain at 20-30% into Sunday evening, watch
for gusty, erratic wind gusts to 30 mph near any showers/storms.
Min Rh will depend on how quickly showers impact the area but
given the current expectation of after 4pm, low to mid 30 percent
min Rh seems reasonable.

A cold front passes through on Monday morning leading to cooler
temperatures, higher Rh, a few showers and increased southwest to
west winds. Wind gusts of 15-25 mph will be common on Monday with
afternoon gusts to around 30 mph for exposed sites.
