After a very dry and warm Monday, humidities have begun to recover nicely this morning. That said, there are still pockets of areas who, as of 2am, were still at 20-25% relative humidity. Today will be slightly cooler and wetter as a weak cold front crosses the area. That said, isolated winds will pick up along the foothills west of Billings this afternoon and persist through Wednesday afternoon, with Wednesday having a 40% chance to see west gusts exceed 50 mph in the afternoon. Friday looks to also be very warm and dry, but fortunately with relatively light winds. A pattern change will occur this weekend, returning southern MT and northern WY to cool and wet conditions.
