THIS MORNING AND SPREAD SOUTH DURING THE DAY. THERE IS A
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW TO BECOME SEVERE OVER FIRE ZONES 132 AND 133

POSSIBLE. THE HIGHER THAN NORMAL MOISTURE WILL ALSO BRING INTENSE
LIGHTNING TO SOUTHEAST MONTANA. TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE
MID 80S TO LOWER 90S TODAY AND FRIDAY. EASTERLY SURFACE FLOW BOTH
DAYS WILL ALLOW MOISTURE TO ADVECT INTO THE AREA AND KEEP MINIMUM
RH'S IN THE LOW TO MID 20 PERCENT RANGE. GOOD RECOVERIES ARE
