...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.
