Fire Weather Planning Forecast for SCen and SErn Montana
National Weather Service Billings MT
211 AM MDT Sun Apr 21 2024

...Mild and breezy this afternoon with humidity falling into the
teens and 20s...

...A cold frontal passage late this afternoon and this evening for
gusty north to northwest winds...

...Gusty northwest winds with humidity in the lower to mid 20s on
Monday...

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will provide a mild and dry day today, High
temperatures will be in the mid to upper 60s, with humidity
falling into the upper teens to mid 20s. Southwest winds will
increase to 10-20mph this afternoon ahead of a cold front. The
cold front will push in this evening and create north to northwest
winds gusting 25-35mph as the front moves through. Showers will
develop along and behind the front over western and central
districts late this afternoon and early this evening, moving into
eastern districts overnight. Monday will be 5-10 degrees cooler,
but northwest winds will be strong. Winds will be 20-30mph over
central districts, with gusts of 30-45mph over the east. Humidity
will be a little higher, but still fall into the lower to mid 20s.
Given the cooler temperatures for Monday and the scattered
overnight showers expected over the east, will hold off on issuing
any fire weather highlights. Winds decrease Monday evening. TWH
