Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Glasgow MT
354 AM MDT Mon Jun 14 2021

.DISCUSSION...

A bit of a complicated heat headline forecast today through
Tuesday.

The strength of the upper level ridge of hot high pressure will be
realized by Tuesday. Even today, substantial ridging will allow
for high temperatures to climb well into the 90s for most
locations. Some models are hinting at the chance for some isolated
showers and a few thunderstorms this evening. Would not be
surprised if they result more in some virga showers, given the
expected very dry surface layer of the atmosphere. Tried to depict
this isolated nature in the PoPs.

After much discussion and consideration, the following headline
product decisions were made: Added our C/SE Phillips County zone
and our C/S Valley County zone to the current Heat Advisory for
today. For Tuesday, upgraded the Excessive Heat Watch to an
Excessive Heat Warning for all zones except Daniels and Sheridan
Counties (a Tuesday Heat Advisory was issued for these two zones).
In addition, felt it was necessary to issue a Fire Weather Watch
for Tuesday as well, given very low humidity (especially near and
southwest of Fort Peck Lake), very hot temperatures (up to 107
degrees), and gusty SE winds up to 25 mph. There does seem to be a
gradient of higher humidity toward the eastern portion of our
CWA on Tuesday, where conditions may be more borderline. Given
this uncertainty, a watch seemed appropriate for now.

The cold front looks like it won't bring the much needed relief
until the late overnight hours Tuesday night or early morning
hours on Wednesday.

The ridge of high pressure will be shunted further south and
dampened out to bring more seasonable temperatures to our region
through the remainder of the forecast week. A series of low
pressure troughs and disturbances will keep temperatures not quite
as hot with increased chances for showers and thunderstorms
beginning on Sunday.

&&

.AVIATION...

FLIGHT CONDITIONS: VFR

WINDS: Early today from the east at 15 kts, then later today from
the southeast at 20 kts. Tonight from the southeast at 15 kts. By
Tuesday later in the morning, 20 to 25 kt winds will return.

SYNOPSIS: Dry and hot conditions will prevail as high pressure
remains firmly in control over the next couple days.

.FIRE WEATHER...

Fire weather concerns have increased for Tuesday (June 15th),
given the expected hot temperatures, gusty southeast winds, and
very low relative humidity. Model data is hinting that the axis of
lowest humidity (down to 5 percent) will align with the surface
low pressure trough. Strong gradients, both for pressure and
humidity will show further east through our CWA, such that fire
weather concerns might not be as high over our eastern zones.
Given that it is out to the Day 2 forecast and with this
uncertainty, a Fire Weather Watch seemed appropriate. Next shift
or two will need to monitor these forecast conditions for any
changes in preparation for a possible upgrade to a Red Flag
Warning.
