Scary
Indicators in some areas have reached record levels
Hell, I don't have much more to say about this than what was written. For the next 10 days they are talking about upper 90's to low 100's for temperatures and it is dry and getting drier out there. It's real scary.
I've seen conditions like this before and all I can do is hold my breath and hope there is no ignition source. Some times we've lucked out there and other times we haven't. It all depends on the weather. Some cool wet weather would be nice but it's not in the cards.
Since this is a hill country one expects to find springs, but not to depend upon them; for when found they are often brackish and unwholesome, or maddening, slow dribbles in a thirsty soil. Mary Austin
Veteran Bureau of Land Management fire prevention officer Pat Mullaney figures Eastern Montana is a week to a week and a half from the start of fire season.
Temperatures are soaring and fuels are drying, he said, and before long, firefighters catching 5- to 10-acre wildfires on their initial attack will find themselves building lines around 100-acre fires.
"Then it will be 1,000 acres, and then we're off to the races," Mullaney said Tuesday.
With predictions of an extended stretch of temperatures in the high 90s and 100s, conditions are approaching extreme, he said.

Weather
Damn the hot, dry weather.
Weather gives fires early start
The past few days it is really starting to show that we could use a shot of rain. It's really getting dry out there. I thought for sure with my branding coming up Friday that there would be some moisture coming in. It always seems like if i scedule a branding it is like sceduling moisture but it doesn't look like it this year. Oh, there is a 20% chance of thunderstorms Friday night but the way things are going I won't get anything out of it.
Talk about a hot, dusty branding on Saturday. I am not looking forward to it. Damn the hot, dry weather. It's like we are living in Texas.

Weather gives fires early start
The fire season is off to an early start in parts of Montana, with the recent unseasonably warm weather helping dry out grasses and other possible fire fuels.
