FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
554 AM MDT TUE JUN 18 2013

...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE
TODAY AND WEDNESDAY...

.DISCUSSION...
A MOIST AND UNSTABLE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL KEEP A THREAT
FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS...LARGE
HAIL...AND HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE
THREAT WILL BE MAINLY OVER THE WESTERN DISTRICTS TODAY...THEN
MAINLY OVER THE EASTERN DISTRICTS ON WEDNESDAY. HUMIDITIES OF 20
PERCENT OR GREATER TODAY WILL INCREASE TO 40 PERCENT OR GREATER ON
WEDNESDAY DUE TO COOLER TEMPERATURES AND MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS.
COULSTON

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
AS THE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THUNDERSTORMS EXITS THE AREA ON
THURSDAY...WESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA.
HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN COOLER THAN NORMAL AND
HUMIDITIES REMAIN ABOVE 25 PERCENT DURING THE
AFTERNOON...LESSENING THE THREAT FOR WILDFIRE SPREAD.

FIRE WEATHER PLANNING FORECAST FOR NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
509 AM MDT SUN JUN 16 2013

...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

.DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE FIRE
DISTRICTS THROUGH MONDAY...WARMING TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL.
AFTERNOON/EVENING INSTABILITY WILL CAUSE ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP...BUT THEY WILL LIKELY BE WEAK WITH GUSTY
WINDS...AS THE AIRMASS REMAINS FAIRLY DRY BUT WITH HUMIDITIES
MOSTLY ABOVE 20 PERCENT.
COULSTON

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
A PACIFIC WEATHER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH MONTANA THROUGH MID
WEEK...BRINGING AN INCREASING CHANCE OF SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. STRONG TO POTENTIALLY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THE
PRIMARY THREATS CURRENTLY APPEAR TO BE STRONG ERRATIC WIND GUSTS
AND HAIL...BUT BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL ALSO REMAINS A POSSIBILITY.
