NWS Forecast Office Missoula, MT

A dry front will move through western Montana and north central Idaho today. This will cause increasing gusty winds, especially across portions of west central Montana. The combination of dry conditions and gusty winds will increase fire danger today, with the potential for rapid growth of wildfires. In addition, winds will be strong enough to create rough conditions for small boats on area lakes. A few thunderstorms are possible today across southwest Montana and Lemhi County, ID. Should storms develop, expect lightning and brief outflow winds to be the main impacts.
