MM’s Weather Concerns
Heightened wildfire danger through Thursday
MM’s Forecast Summary
Elevated Wildfire Danger & the Next Storm System
After a bitter cold Wednesday morning, a warming trend is underway as winds turn southerly today. Those winds could gust to 25 mph today. These windy conditions will be with us the rest of the week, which will also help enhance the wildfire danger. The southerly wind will also blow in our next rain system by Thursday night & Friday. Friday will likely be the windiest day of the week, with gusts to 30 mph (perhaps higher). The weekend looks to be cloudy, with scattered showers.
FYI, it continues to look like the bulk of Friday’s rain will have moved out before Friday at the Crossroads in downtown Crossville begins Friday evening (4-8:00pm). The theme this time is Winter Wonderland.

Yesterday’s Weather Statistics
On This Day
1955- Low temperature of 8 degrees sets a monthly record at Crossville.
1896 – The mercury plunged to 51 degrees below zero at Havre, Montana! It marked the culmination of a two week long cold wave caused by a stagnate high pressure area similar to those over Siberia during the winter. During the month of November, temperatures across Montana and the Dakotas averaged 15 to 25 degrees below normal.
Drought Monitor
The Drought Monitor is updated each Thursday. The map below was updated on Thursday, November 23. This week’s rain helped, but we will likely remain in drought conditions for many weeks to come.
