In eastern portions of north-central Montana (east of a line from Havre to Lewistown), it will be breezy throughout the night as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 25 mph. It is also going to be refreshingly cool tonight (thanks to the cold front) as lows are going to be in the 40s and low 50s. We are also going to have decreasing clouds tonight.
