| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An upper level ridge with an axis extending from the interior western US north into BC would be flattened some on Sunday by a series of very weak mid-level shortwave disturbances moving in from off the WA coast. Flow aloft turns to the west tonight, which would allow some very dry air to shift east into the region by Sunday morning. Surface pressure pattern also supported a shift to westerly winds by Sunday morning as low pressure developed east of the Rockies near the MT/AB border. An increase in mid level westerly winds and supporting surface pressure gradient would bring breezy to windy conditions for much of the area on Sunday with deeper mixing in the afternoon tapping into an area of 30-40kt mid-level winds over portions of central/N-central MT. |Afternoon temperatures would reach the upper 70s to low 80s for most lower elevation areas, with humidity falling below 20% across much of central MT. The combination of unseasonably warm and dry conditions along with gusty winds would bring increased fire danger, particularly in grassland and lower elevation areas across central MT. |
