...A CHANGE TO MORE FALL LIKE WEATHER EXPECTED ON THURSDAY...


EXPECT ANOTHER DAY OF RECORD BREAKING HIGH TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE 
REGION ON WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...A PACIFIC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST 
ACROSS MONTANA ON THURSDAY. AS THE FRONT APPROACHES...WEST WINDS OF 
25 TO 35 MPH...AND GUSTS NEAR 45 MPH ARE POSSIBLE. THIS FRONT WILL 
BRING BACK MORE FALL LIKE AIR BY FRIDAY MORNING. AS A RESULT EXPECT 
TEMPERATURES TO AVERAGE CLOSE TO 25 DEGREES COLDER THAN THEY HAVE 
BEEN ON FRIDAY...WITH MORNING LOWS FALLING INTO THE MID 20S AND 
LOWER 30S...AND AFTERNOON HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE MID 40S AND LOWER 50S. 
THERE WILL BE SOME PRECIPITATION BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. 
HOWEVER...BECAUSE OF DOWNSLOPE WINDS...THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION 
IS EXPECTED TO FALL IN THE MOUNTAINS.

THIS COLD SNAP WILL BE SHORT LIVED...AS TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO 
BE BACK ABOVE NORMAL BY SUNDAY.
