Valid 191200Z - 201200Z

...NO CRITICAL AREAS...

Hot daytime temperatures amid marginally dry and breezy conditions
are expected across north-central Montana on Day 2/Sunday afternoon.
Such meteorological conditions would typically provoke Elevated
highlights; however, expansive green-up and sparse fuels alleviate
broader fire concerns.

...Synopsis...
An upper ridge will build over the Northwest in the wake of a
departing midlevel trough. While a continuation of warm and dry
conditions are expected, weaker surface winds will limit
fire-weather concerns regionally compared to previous days. However,
locally elevated conditions are still possible in wind-prone areas,
given the continuation of warm/dry conditions and receptive fuels.
