Fire and Aviation Discussion for Libby, Montana

Fire Weather Discussion as of 9:20 p.m. MDT Friday, September 13, 2024

The Daily Fire Weather Discussion for Northwest Montana and Libby has ended for the 2024 Fire Season. It will only be updated if conditions warrant. Daily discussions will resume at the start of the 2025 Summer Fire Season.

Aviation discussion as of 7:25 p.m. MDT Sunday, March 30, 2025 valid through 10:00 p.m. MDT Monday, March 31, 2025:

VFR conditions this evening will likely persist until after midnight when a band of rain and snow pushes into the region from the south which will lower ceilings and visibilities down to MVFR or even IFR especially if snow is the predominate precipitation type but this carries low confidence. The band should clear to the north of the airfield by mid morning at the latest with conditions improving to VFR as low clouds scatter out with daytime heating. Scattered afternoon MVFR to locally IFR showers will develop in the afternoon especially to the west of the airfield over the Cabinet Mountains which could also remain at least partially obscured throughout the day. Winds will be mainly light and variable although gusty winds could be found near heavier showers on Monday afternoon.
