You will notice a little cooler temperature today and for the rest of the work week actually.  70's and 80's primarily.  With that said keep in mind the Gazette reports that Red Flag warnings are still in place:
While the temperatures will be cooler, that doesn't mean the summer's seemingly-endless streak of dangerous fire weather is over. The NWS has issued a red flag warning for the lower half of Eastern Montana, from Billings to the east, until 9 p.m., cautioning of low humidity and gusty winds of as much as 30 mph before a wind shift hits as a cold front moves into the area.

A couple of days before last weeks holiday a water main broke on about 5th and Broadwater and there has been a nice swerve over detour set up.  On my way back from lunch I noticed the detour cones were gone and the hole was filled in.
