.DISCUSSION...

GEAR UP FOR A WARMER DAY AS SOUTHERLY WINDS INCREASE AHEAD OF
THE DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN WYOMING/MONTANA. DO NOT
THINK WINDS WILL BE MORE THAN 15 MPH DURING AFTERNOON. SURFACE
WINDS MAY TEND TO HAVE A SLIGHT EAST COMPONENT...BUT GUSTS OF
AIR BEING DRAWN FROM ALOFT MAY TEND TO BE FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
GOOD MIXING AND SUNSHINE SHOULD ALLOW HUMIDITY TO FALL NEAR 30
PERCENT. ANY ISOLATED SHOWERS OR STORMS LIKELY TO REMAIN AT
LEAST A COUNTY TO THE SOUTH. ANTICIPATE EXCELLENT SMOKE
DISPERSION.

SHOWERS AND STORMS...MOSTLY SHOWERS...WILL BECOME MORE LIKELY
TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. GOOD RH RECOVERY DUE TO
SOME MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION NEAR 0.15 INCHES.

WINDS WILL INCREASE AND BECOME SOUTHEAST TUESDAY. SHOWERS WILL
LIKELY CONTINUE WITH AT LEAST ANOTHER 0.25 INCH OF RAINFALL
FROM DAWN TO DUSK. RH WILL REMAIN ELEVATED DUE TO CLOUD COVER
AND PRECIPITATION.
