.DISCUSSION...

Warm and mainly dry conditions are expected through Tuesday
as high pressure aloft builds in from the west. Afternoon RHs
likely to fall to the mid teens and lower 20s over most districts,
the exceptions being the high country and areas along the
Dakota/Montana border where RH readings may only drop into the
20s to lower 30s. A cold front drops down from the north late
Tuesday, bringing breezy north to northeast winds and some light
showers over eastern areas overnight. This will be followed by
somewhat cooler conditions Wednesday with higher RH readings. BT
