High Wind Watch


... High wind watch in effect from late tonight through Tuesday
morning...

The National Weather Service in Great Falls has issued a high
wind watch for the Rocky Mountain front and the mountain passes of
Lewis And Clark County... which is in effect from late tonight
through Tuesday morning.

Strong west winds of 35 to 45 mph with gusts to 60 mph are
possible along the Rocky Mountain front and through mountain
passes of Lewis And Clark County late tonight through Tuesday
morning. Winds will then gradually decrease Tuesday afternoon.

A high wind watch means there is the potential for a hazardous
high wind event. Sustained winds of at least 40 mph... or gusts of
58 mph or stronger may occur. Continue to monitor the latest
forecasts.
