727 PM MDT WED JUL 8 2026
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.
DISCUSSION
CURRENT OBSERVATIONS NEAR THE FIRE SHOW EASTERLY WINDS GUSTING UP
TO 30-35 MPH DUE TO AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM STORMS IN THE EAST.
EXPECT THESE WINDS TO PERSIST FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR SO BEFORE
WEAKENING TO 8-10 MPH. DIRECTION OF WIND WILL VARY, WITH EAST
WINDS GRADUALLY TRANSITIONING TO WESTERLY WINDS BY 2100 MDT.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE GRADUALLY ENDING IN THE AREA, WITH
MAIN ACTIVITY STAYING SOUTH AND EAST OF THE FIRE. HOWEVER, THERE
IS A 20% CHANCE OF AN ISOLATED SHOWER NOW THROUGH 2100, WITH GUSTY
ERRATIC WINDS OF 30 MPH AS THE MAIN CONCERN. OVERNIGHT, AN
ADDITIONAL ROUND OF SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE (10-15% CHANCE), MAINLY
BETWEEN 0100-0400 MDT. ERRATIC GUSTS OF 30-35 MPH WILL BE THE MAIN
THREAT. WETTING RAIN IS ALSO POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS,
HOWEVER ONLY 0.05-0.10" IS EXPECTED. OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES
SHOULD REACH UP TO 70-80%.
TOMORROW, EXPECT WINDS TO REMAIN LIGHT (GENERALLY UNDER 10-15 MPH)
AND VARIABLE, WITH MINIMUM RH DROPPING DOWN TO AROUND 35%. ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED BETWEEN 1200-1800
MDT (50-65% CHANCE). LIGHTNING AND GUSTS OF 40-50 MPH WINDS WILL
BE THE MAIN CONCERN.
