According to the National Weather Service, winds will start earlier than normal in the morning Wednesday, and by the afternoon, it will be exceptionally windy across western Montana. Wind gusts in the 30 and 40 mph range will be common, with some afternoon wind gusts in the 50 mph range possible, especially for the Continental Divide area and 4500 ft+ valleys of southwest Montana. Winds will quickly decrease in intensity after sunset.
Tree damage is possible, and crosswinds will at times create hazardous driving conditions, especially for high profile vehicles.
