.KEY MESSAGES...

  temperatures near seasonable.

- Weak system may bring light precipitation by Friday night or
  Saturday.

.DISCUSSION...

Low pressure will exit east as an upper ridge tracks over the
region for Tuesday into Wednesday. This will lead generally dry
weather conditions and seasonable temperatures. Lows each morning
will range in the upper 20s to low 30s while highs push into the
upper 40s to low 50s.

The upper ridge will slide east of the Northern Rockies and into
the Plains while the next shortwave tracks along the MT northern
border with Canada late in the week. This may bring enough dynamic
lift support for an isolated shower to NE Montana by Friday night
or Saturday, but ensemble QPF amounts look light at this time. For
now, NBM is mainly placing silent pops over the area.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS:

NBM was left untouched for this forecast cycle as it captured the
overall seasonable temperatures and dry weather well for the next
several days. Confidence decreases late in the week with
precipitation chances as the next system approaches given the
marginal thermal profiles and overall light nature of the expected
total QPF if it occurs.

DISCUSSION: Lingering showers and low stratus will cause MVFR/IFR

clear overnight as flight category returns to VFR, though patchy
fog or low stratus cannot be completely ruled out.
