Red Lodge, Montana, recorded 28C conditions with very low humidity around 10% and gusty southerly winds, with no rain of 3mm or more since September 19. A local observer reports very high fire potential along the Beartooth Front, and says fall colors have faded early due to blight and dryness rather than cold, leaving the landscape unusually crisp.

Why now: The exceptional warmth, drought and very high fire danger on the Beartooth Front are raising concern among locals.
