Central Montana under Red Flag Warning as weather could fan flames

[TexasTowelie]

The National Weather Service has issued Red Flag Warnings for Saturday night and Sunday until midnight as low humidity, gusty winds and dry thunderstorms make fire conditions unpredictable in central and northcentral Montana.

Counties affected by these warnings include Cascade, Fergus, Judith Basin, Lewis and Clark, Meagher, Glacier, Liberty, Pondera, Teton and Toole.

Wind gusts could reach 30-45 mph depending on elevation, causing erratic fire behavior in the affected area.

Incident management teams are concerned about the possibility that the Rice Ridge, Alice Creek and Park Creek fires may join together because of the weekend’s change in weather.

1. Now my karma is split -

West for fires and east for hurricanes............. I think I'll drum up a few extra kitties and burrow under the covers.

I have hope. Pretty much all I've got left.

Hang in there and we can keep our fingers crossed that things will get better.
