MONTANA AS 70+ KT JET PUSHES INTO SOUTHERN ALBERTA. WEAK DEW POINT
FRONT SET UP ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER ACROSS EASTERN MONTANA WITH
DEW POINTS IN THE 50S SOUTH AND IN THE 40S NORTH. EXPECT THIS FRONT

TO SOUTHERN ZONES AS FRONT PROGGED TO SAG SOUTHWARD OVERNIGHT AS
COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE STATE. TAIL OF COLD FRONT DROPS INTO
