FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR SCEN AND SERN MONTANA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
508 AM MDT WED JUN 19 2013

.DISCUSSION...
AN APPROACHING WEATHER SYSTEM WILL GENERATE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS NORTH OF LIVINGSTON AND BILLINGS. THERE IS A
CHANCE FOR DRY THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS FOR LIVINGSTON AND
BILLINGS AND TO THE SOUTH. DEW POINTS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP INTO
THE 30S AND 40S ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
THIS COMBINED WITH TEMPERATURES RUNNING 10 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL WILL PRODUCE AFTERNOON RH VALUES FROM 10 TO 20 PERCENT. A
COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE FORECAST AREA FROM WEST TO EAST BRINGING
A WIND SHIFT TO SOUTHWESTERLIES BEHIND THE FRONT. TEMPERATURES
WILL RETURN TO NEAR SEASONABLE VALUES ON THURSDAY WITH RH VALUES
AROUND 20 PERCENT. WINDS WILL REMAIN WESTERLY ON THURSDAY BEFORE
SHIFTING AROUND TO THE EAST BY THURSDAY NIGHT...ALONG WITH A CHANCE
OF PRECIPITATION ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN MONTANA. CHURCH
