Fire and Aviation Discussion for Libby, Montana

Fire Weather Discussion as of 6:30 p.m. MDT Sunday, June 1, 2025

Fine fuels continue to dry out across the region as well below rainfall for the month of May continues to allow for faster and earlier drying out and curing of fuels. Fortunately winds will be relatively light for the next few days but no sign of any rain for a while. Near average daytime temperatures with below average overnight temperatures will be common for the start of the week with frost possible on the valley floor both Monday and Tuesday mornings and possibly Wednesday as well with moderate to good overnight relative humidity recoveries for the next couple of days across most locations including high elevations. A weak shortwave will drop down from Canada later tonight into Monday morning but will likely track too far east to bring any meaningful precipitation to the region.

Aviation discussion as of 6:35 p.m. MDT Sunday, June 1, 2025 valid through 10:00 p.m. MDT Monday, June 2, 2025:

VFR conditions will prevail through the period with varying amounts of cloud cover and mainly light, terrain driven winds. Any showers and mountain top obscurations should remain well to the north and east of the airfield and not affect flying conditions to and from KLIB.
