The National Weather Service in Billings has issued a Red Flag Warning...which is in effect from noon to 9 PM MDT Wednesday. The Fire Weather Watch is no longer in effect. * IMPACTS: Low humidities, unseasonably warm temperatures, strong gusty winds, and wind shift with a cold front will create erratic fire behavior and the potential for new fire starts. * AFFECTED AREA: In South Central MT Fire Zones...123...124...125. For Zone 123, the worst conditions will impact the lower elevations where grasses remain dead or dry. * COUNTIES AFFECTED: In Central MT...Wheatland.

In Southwest MT...Gallatin. * COLD FRONT: The front will move in from the north, with passage timing forecast between 3 PM and 9 PM MDT Wednesday. Expect the districts along the Beartooth Foothills to see frontal arrival the latest. This will bring an end to the gusty conditions and shift winds from the west to the north-northeast. Light showers are possible behind the front, although the chance of a wetting rain is low. * WIND: West 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 60 mph. Strongest from Livingston to Big Timber and north through Harlowton. * HUMIDITY: As low as 15 percent. * TEMPERATURES: Up to 75 degrees.

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
