The Missoulian posted this item late yesterday. I’d take it with a grain of salt, especially the “extended summer” bit . . .
Although September is but a week away and students are returning to school, summer weather and wildfire season in Montana is far from over.
In fact, “we are hitting our peak right now,” said Brian Henry, a fire weather forecaster and meteorologist at the Northern Rockies Coordination Center.
“The next two weeks will be the most active part of our season and computer models tell us we will have an extended summer into September, and the fire season will likely linger before going to sleep on us.”
