Good idea, I see the weather calls for gusts of 75 mph and up to 100 mph in select areas along the Rocky Mountain front around East Glacier area.

A couple of S trains are through Missoula. High winds are forecast across the I-90 corridor tomorrow so there may be delays in the Livingston area.

Tall cars likely to blow over in strong gusts. Double stack 53' containers are prime candidates.
