COORDINATED WITH MLS DISPATCH THIS MORNING WHO REPORTED THAT FIRE IN SE MT YESTERDAY SPREAD QUICKLY AND FIRE WAS ONGOING IN CARTER COUNTY TODAY. CONDITIONS ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE EVEN MORE FAVORABLE FOR WILDFIRES TO SPREAD EASILY. PREFERRED GFS OVER NAM AS GFS INITIALIZED STRONGER THAN NAM WITH SHORTWAVE OFF NW U.S. COAST AND LOOKED REASONABLE. THIS WAVE WILL PUSH SE THROUGH NE MT ON SUNDAY DRIVING A COLD FRONT INTO THE EASTERN ZONES. WARM AND DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE OVER THE REGION SUNDAY WITH MINIMUM RH/S PROGGED TO BE NEAR 20 PERCENT. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWED GOOD MIXING POTENTIAL BEGINNING AT 17Z AND CONTINUING INTO SUN NIGHT WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 60 MPH POSSIBLE. THESE FACTORS WARRANTED ISSUANCE OF RFW.

I see they have those 60mph wind predictions out for most of the state-- that will really take the last of our snow, but will suck every bit of moisture up too...

".........myself included, has been affected by the bse "scare"..........."

Not like they have in Canada.

ranchwife sorry, but been having a bad day and i know i should not come here when i feel that way. I could blame it on the 26 hours of no sleep, and trying to put a sales cataloge together or even the F''n puters that kept crashing here. But it was just my fustration surfacing...sorry

rancher- The 35-40 mph winds are here-- and believe it or not-- I had 20 raindrops hit the windshield of the pickup this morning-- I guess we're getting the edge of the storm Manitoba Rancher and Shelly are getting-- Don't look like it will amount to much for moisture tho.....

Maybe the weather patterns are changing. It sounds unsettled all week. Week got enough rain to mess up the windshield of the tractor. Cowboy

Hey ranchwife i see you are from around Ennis MOntana and our son in Billings has a freind around there that he goes upi and helps him brand every May.
We are getting the 40-50mph gusts of wind this afternoon and even more at times and it looks like a fire once in awhile here in the yard when the dust goes blowing through.
We will start with our babies in a couple of weeks and vaccianted the ehifers yesterday and they are looking like might be some early.
Will see how we do this year without the grandson to help out as he got a job finally in Billings and we won't take him away from that and he is doing quite well. This is the one i mentioned awhole back had the really bad accident with head injuries and he came out of that really well, just some short term memory once in awhile./ Has a good woman to help him out now so that is something.
Everyone take care and can use the moisture in canada but don't want snow tob bad.\HAs really been a windy Feb and now march almost. Suppsoe to keep upi here tomorrwo but cooler. Embarassed

Oldtimer, wished I had your wind, mine is gusting to 60-65 mph every other minute. The sky is full of dirt I can't see the barn at times. This is getting bad when it is this dry with this kind of wind. No hope in the next week of any moisture either. I suppose you have enough ground moisture to grow some grass again this year. The sage brush here is starting to die from lack of water.
