KEY MESSAGES: - Arctic air settles in with a Cold Advisory across the Hi-Line through Monday morning for wind chills as low as 30 below zero. - Patchy to locally dense freezing fog along parts of the Hi-line. - More seasonable temperatures return starting Tuesday. && WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Today & Monday: The coldest temperatures of the season so far will be over the area through Monday morning under Arctic high pressure. The current forecast has widespread highs in the 10s and apparent temperatures in the 20s to 30s below for most areas north of the Missouri River. There will be a brief recovery in the afternoon with highs around zero, but similar wind chills again tonight. Patchy dense fog this morning is expected to diminish through the morning. Steam off Fort Peck Lake will begin to blow north into Glasgow this afternoon. Tuesday and beyond: The next chance (20 - 50% chance) for measurable precipitation is Tuesday as a low drops south and east through Idaho into Wyoming. Another upper level trough crossing the Northern Rockies by Friday has the potential to drop some widespread mixed precipitation, though too early to get much model agreement on type and amount. An unsettled pattern will cause temperatures to swing and precipitation chances to linger through next weekend.
