.DISCUSSION...
An upper trough in southern Canada is allowing cooler than average
temperatures to occur over the region. Beside a few isolated
showers in along central Montana, mainly dry weather is expected
for the next few days. As temperatures warm next week, fire
weather conditions will become more of a concern.
