AVIATION
18z TAF Discussion... VFR conditions will prevail through tonight. Winds will be breezy to gusty (20 to 40kts) across the area today, strongest over the western foothills. Winds remain gusty to strong over the western foothills tonight, but should diminish over the plains around sunset. A Pacific cold front moves through the forecast area overnight, stirring up the west/northwest winds again. Western foothills could approach 50kts briefly as the front arrives. Over the plains there could be a period of wind gusts to 35kts, but most likely will see low level wind shear develop with west/northwest winds of 40 to 55kts just off the surface. As the sun comes up will see winds begin to mix down around 15 to 16z resulting in a gusty mid to late morning over the plains. Areas from Miles City eastward could see a few mixed precipitation showers in the morning with MVFR conditions near precipitation areas. Chambers
