Update to Aviation

.DISCUSSION...
Tonight through Tuesday...Overall pattern remains unchanged with a
strong upper ridge over the west coast and dry northwest flow
aloft. Models move a weak short wave embedded within the northwest
flow aloft through the area late this evening. Surface winds will
shift to the north for a few hours. The RUC and the European
models develop light qpf near the Little Belts as a result of this
weak upslope flow. HRRR analysis also develops qpf in this area
for a few hours late this evening. Have gone with low pops to
support this possibility. The surface gradient is not as tight on
Monday allowing for lighter winds. Monday and Tuesday will
continue dry with a northerly flow aloft. Temperatures will remain
above seasonal averages.

Tuesday night through Sunday...The main change in the extended
period was to increase the chances for rain/snow Wednesday into
Wednesday night...as both the EC/GFS continue to show an upper
level disturbance moving southward through the region. There looks
to be a bit more moisture with this disturbance...thus pops have
been increased...especially in the mountains around Kings Hill.
Snow accumulations still look to be on the low side...with most
lower elevation locations only seeing around 1 inch of
snowfall...and about 2 to 3 inches in the mountains. After this
disturbance moves through little to no precipitation is expected
from Thursday through Sunday. Temperatures will cool a bit
Wednesday as the disturbance moves through the region...with high
temperatures likely in the morning and then falling in the
afternoon. It will be cold Wednesday night as skies clear out a
bit...and with the possible fresh snow cover...temperatures will
fall rather quickly early Thursday morning. Otherwise...expect
afternoon temperatures to generally be about 5 to 10 degrees above
normal starting as early as Thursday afternoon and then continuing
into next weekend. Brusda
