CENTRAL AND SW MT THIS MORNING...WITH LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED
IN THE VALLEYS AND 2-5 INCHES OF SNOW EXPECTED IN THE MOUNTAINS.
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPPING THROUGH NORTH-CENTRAL MT WILL BRING
A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST WITH A FEW FLURRIES POSSIBLE THROUGH
LATE THIS MORNING. BY THIS AFTERNOON...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING
INTO THE PACIFIC NW WILL MOVE TO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES...BRINGING
DRIER CONDITIONS AND CLEARING SKIES FROM WEST TO EAST. CLEARING
SKIES TONIGHT AND RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR SEASONABLY
COOL OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES. LIGHT WINDS IN THE SW MT VALLEYS
AND GROUND MOISTURE FROM THIS MORNINGS PRECIPITATION MAY ALLOW FOR
THE FORMATION OF SOME PATCHY FOG. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL
PROGRESS EAST ACROSS THE STATE WEDNESDAY AS THE NEXT PACIFIC SYSTEM
COMES ONSHORE. PRECIPITATION WILL INCREASE AGAIN ALONG AND WEST OF
THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS MOIST WESTERLY FLOW
INCREASES. ANOTHER FAIRLY STRONG SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE INTO BC LATE
WEDNESDAY AND ACROSS ALBERTA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH THE
UPPER LEVEL TROF MOVING ACROSS MT THURSDAY. THIS WILL BRING
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION TO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH STRONG WINDS POSSIBLE AGAIN ALONG THE ROCKY MTN
FRONT AND ADJACENT PLAINS LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THAT AREA. PRECIPITATION SITUATION
ALONG NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE WILL NEED TO
MONITORED AS MODELS INDICATE PRECIP AMOUNTS OVER 1 WITH SNOW LEVELS
LIKELY RISING WEDNESDAY NIGHT....BEFORE FALLING AGAIN WITH THE TROF
PASSAGE BY THURSDAY MORNING. THERE ARE STILL SOME DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN MODELS WITH EXACTLY HOW WARM IT WILL GET AHEAD OF THE TROF

DOMINATE THE AREA FOR SHOWERS MAINLY OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND
SOUTHWEST MONTANA. MINOR SHORT WAVES MOVE THROUGH THE FLOW WITH THE
NEXT STRONGER SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH ON SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES THROUGH THE PERIOD. CAMP

MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT DURING THIS
PERIOD...DIFFERING IN MINOR FEATURES.  I WENT WITH A COMPROMISE OF
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE MOVES OVER THE MIDWEST...WHILE A TROUGH REMAINS
OFF THE WEST COAST DURING THIS PERIOD.  A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES IN
A FAIRLY MOIST BUT STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT OVER THE FORECAST
AREA...IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH
SCATTERED RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS...MAINLY OVER AND NEAR THE
MOUNTAINS.  DOWNSLOPE WINDS SHOULD HELP KEEP THE PLAINS MOSTLY
DRY...WITH ONLY A FEW SHOWERS EXPECTED OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
