Strong winds and gusts will slowly develop this evening along the Rocky Mountain Front and adjacent plains. Gusts up to 70 mph will be possible along the immediate eastern slopes of the Rockies through the remainder of the night. Further east on the plains, gusts up to 55 mph will be possible, with an isolated gust near 60 mph not out of the question. Those operating high profile vehicles near the Rocky Mountain Front tonight should be prepared for difficult driving conditions, including crosswinds.

The Cabin Creek Headwaters to Dry Fork segment of the Whitewater River in Montana is a popular spot for kayaking and whitewater rafting. The ideal streamflow range for this segment is between 300 and 800 cubic feet per second (cfs), with the highest flows typically occurring in June and July. The class rating for this segment ranges from Class II to Class IV, depending on the water level.
The segment covers approximately 14 miles, starting at Cabin Creek Headwaters in Section 13 of Township 17 North, Range 10 West and ending at Dry Fork in Section 13 of Township 17 North, Range 11 West. The river features several rapids and obstacles, including the technical Cabin Creek rapid and the challenging Big Timber Falls.
To ensure the safety of visitors, there are specific regulations in place for this area. The Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks department requires all boaters to wear a US Coast Guard approved personal flotation device (PFD) at all times while on the river. Additionally, visitors must adhere to Leave No Trace principles and pack out all trash and waste. It is also recommended to check the current river conditions and weather forecast before embarking on a trip down the Whitewater River.
