KEY MESSAGES

- Gusty winds (35 to 55 mph) continue over the foothills west of Billings through early this morning, decreasing significantly this afternoon. Minor travel impacts due to crosswinds along I-90 around Livingston to Big Timber and US-191 from Big Timber to Harlowton.

- Above normal temperatures and dry weather expected to continue into the weekend.

- Periods of light snow look to return to the south and west slopes of the Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains Friday into early next week.

AVIATION

Wind gusts of 30-45kts will persist over for KLVM, K6S0 and K3HT through the night, slightly decreasing tomorrow afternoon. There is a low chance (~10% chance) of some low stratus getting into east central MT (KBHK, KMLS) mid day today, but confidence is low at this time. TS
