teens to lower 20s. Southerly wind gusts of 15 to 25 mph are
possible in the foothills and out east along the MT/Dakota border

areas in the Ashland Fire District which did not see as much
precipitation from the last event as other locations and humidity
will be notably low today with brisk southerly wind. A Red Flag
Warning is in place across Sheridan County, WY and portions of SE
