   STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE NRN ROCKIES TODAY...BRINGING
   MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR TONIGHT AND WINDY CONDITIONS THIS AFTN

   HELP DRIVE THE FRONT SWD DURING THE DAY. WIDESPREAD CRITICAL FIRE

   IN THE 15-25 MPH RANGE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST MINIMUM RH VALUES
   MAY BE AS LOW AS 12-18 PERCENT IN SOME LOCATIONS. AREAS IN SRN WY
   WILL BE AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT FOR PART OF THE DAY...SO DAYTIME
   HIGHS WILL CLIMB WELL INTO THE 80S. WINDS WILL BE CHANGING DIRECTION
   RAPIDLY INVOF OF THE FRONT...WHICH SHOULD EXTEND FROM NEAR
   CMS/RWL/CYS BY 26/00Z. 
   
   IN ADDITION TO THE LOCALLY BREEZY CONDITIONS IN THE AFTN...SHOWERS
   AND TSTMS ARE ALSO LIKELY. TSTMS SHOULD BE FOCUSED ALONG THE
   CONTINENTAL DIVIDE IN ID AND WY. ALTHOUGH ISOLD DRY LIGHTNING IS
   POSSIBLE...RELATIVELY HIGH PW VALUES ACROSS WY SHOULD YIELD SOME
   WETTING RAINS...AND POST FRONTAL SHOWERS ARE ALSO LIKELY DURING THE
   EVENING/OVERNIGHT ACROSS WY.
