SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST MONTANA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
201 AM MDT WED SEP 15 1999

DRY PATTERN FOR FORECAST AREA WITH WARMING OCCURING THE NEXT TWO
DAYS. RIDGE OVER WESTERN SECTIONS OF STATE TO SHIFT EASTWARD AND
WEAKEN...BRINGING AN END TO THE PRONOUNCED NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WHICH
HAD KEPT EASTERN MONTANA UNDER RELATIVELY COOL CONDITONS.  FLOW PATTERN
BECOMES MORE ZONAL BY THURSDAY...BUT NOT MUCH MOISTURE OVER THE
EASTERN PACIFIC TO WORK WITH.  DRY COLD FRONT ON FRIDAY WILL INCREASE
WINDS AND WILL BE THE MAIN HIGHLIGHT THE NEXT FEW DAYS...ESPECIALLY
FROM A FIRE WEATHER PERSPECTIVE.   BORSUM

FOR THE EXTENDED...SURFACE TROF WILL PASS THROUGH THE STATE FRIDAY...
ALLOWING COOLER CANADAIN AIR TO MOVE BACK OVER THE STATE FOR SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY. VERY LITTLE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...AND FRONT IS VERY
WEAK...SO I EXPECT NO PRECIPITATION DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
CURRENT WRKSP2 HAS GOOD HANDLE...SO NO UPDATE. MIDDENDORF
