.DISCUSSION...

Upper level ridging continues into Tuesday across the wildfire
area. Monsoonal moisture attempts to build in from the south, but
looks to be shunted eastward before even reaching Central
Montana. Hence, dry conditions are forecast through Tuesday. Winds
largely look to be light and mostly southwesterly, though
instances of winds shifting around to the northwest cannot be
ruled out at times Tuesday near the terrain and foothill
interface.
