Showers and thunderstorms associated with a cold front are expected to develop across the Northern Rockies Friday afternoon and evening. These showers and storms will have the potential to enhance already strong and gusty southwest to west winds, especially along the Rocky Mountain Front. Strong west winds will persist into the day on Saturday in wake of the cold front across the plains of Central and North Central Montana. Those recreating outdoors should be aware of their surroundings and any potential hazards. Travelers, especially those operating high profile vehicles, should be prepared for strong cross winds.
