If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. .DISCUSSION...An upper level disturbance is moving west to east through the area this morning, providing plenty of cloud cover and a line of high-based shower activity. These clouds will push through this morning, with perhaps a short period of light rain as most of the precipitation struggles to reach the ground. Skies will begin to clear this afternoon, with sun breaks generating atmospheric instability. This will open the door for another round of showers and thunderstorms, with activity forming upstream to the southwest of the fire. A 30-40% chance exists for a line of showers and thunderstorms to push through the fire from the southwest between 1600-2200 MDT, with outflow winds (peak gusts of 30-50 mph) and lightning being the primary storm threats. A dry cold front will push through the area on Sunday, bringing elevated fire weather as southwest winds increase with peak gusts of 25-30 mph during the afternoon. .REST OF TODAY... * Sky/Weather.........Cloudy becoming party cloudy in the afternoon.
