On June 28, the National Weather Service in Great Falls, Montana, stated that strong winds would affect north-central parts of the state.

"Wind speeds are likely to peak early this evening with a few gusts in excess of 50 mph causing difficult cross-winds," the agency said.

The agency advised travelers to consider delaying trips across backcountry and higher elevations.

If travel was necessary, it recommended carrying a winter storm kit including tire chains, booster cables, flashlight, shovel, blankets, extra clothing, water, and a first aid kit.
