  winds 15 to 35 mph across the west side of the lake with a 1 to 2 
  foot chop expected.

* WHERE...Flathead Lake.

* WHEN...From 7 AM to 8 PM MDT Sunday.

* IMPACTS...A cold front passage Sunday morning will usher in gusty 
  southwest to west winds and create hazardous conditions for small 
  craft.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...There may be a slight uptick in the winds, 
  generally west-southwest 15 to 25 mph on the east side of the lake

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Boaters on area lakes should use extra caution since strong winds 
and rough waves can overturn small craft. Water temperatures are in 
the 40s and it doesn't take much time for hypothermia to develop if 
you get dipped into the water. Wearing a life jacket significantly 
increases chances of survival.
