...Synopsis...
A midlevel westerly jet streak will cross the northern Rockies
during the afternoon, while a related cold front overspreads the
region. Strong post-frontal winds are expected across northern MT,
which could briefly overlap 20-30 percent RH. Dry/breezy pre-frontal
conditions are also possible over eastern MT into the western
Dakotas. While locally elevated conditions are possible for both
areas, marginal fuels and a limited overlap of the strongest winds
and lowest RH cast uncertainty on the large-fire threat.

Farther east, breezy/gusty west-northwesterly winds and 25-35
percent RH are possible from MN to Lower MI -- along the southern
periphery of strong northwesterly flow aloft. This could yield
locally elevated conditions, though these conditions appear too
marginal for highlights, given the current state of fuels.
