...Cold Front Arriving With Strong Wind Gusts...

A strong cold front is moving into the area from the northwest. 
Along and behind the front expect strong wind gusts to 35 to 55 mph, 
with locally stronger gusts possible. Wind direction will change 
sharply from the west to the north-northwest as the front moves 
through. 

The cold front and strong winds are expected to arrive in the 
Parkman and Dayton Wyoming vicinity around 130 AM MDT, and into 
Sheridan Wyoming before 2 AM MDT.

Expect blowing dust and debris along with sudden strong crosswinds 
for those traveling overnight. Smoke from the Elk fire will likely 
intensify as the front arrives, and may significantly impact 
visibility including along portions of I-90 from Ranchester south to 
the county line.  

Locations impacted include...
Sheridan, Ranchester, Dayton, Big Horn, Clearmont, Leiter, Wyola,
Parkman, Tongue River Reservoir, Banner, Moorhead, Arvada, Story,
Ucross, and Crow Indian Reservation.
