...RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM MDT THIS EVENING...

.DISCUSSION...THE RED FLAG WARNING FOR SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT IS
FOR LOW HUMIDITY AND WIND GUSTING TO 25 MPH. THE HIGH PRESSURE THAT
HAS BEEN GIVING NEARLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WIND FOR A COUPLE OF
DAYS WILL BEGIN BREAKING DOWN.  INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE INCIDENT IS
IN THE THERMAL BELT, KEEPING HUMIDITY RECOVERY POOR. THE SOUTH END
OF A DRY COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH MONTANA WILL PUSH THROUGH MONDAY,
BRINGING STRONGER WINDS AND A BETTER CHANCE AT REACHING RED FLAG
CONDITIONS.  SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME A THREAT AGAIN BY
LATE WEEK AS MOIST UNSTABLE AIR MOVES IN FROM THE SOUTH ON THURSDAY
OR FRIDAY.
