.SHORT TERM...FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY...

AS THIS QUICK-PASSING SHORT-WAVE DISTURBANCE MOVED OVER NORTHEAST
MONTANA OVERNIGHT AND EARLY THIS MORNING...IT WAS ACCOMPANIED BY
ENOUGH WIDESPREAD CLOUDINESS THAT THE SURFACE TEMPERATURES
ACTUALLY ROSE A BIT OVERNIGHT JUST AHEAD OF AND DURING THE
PRECIPITATION WHICH KEPT IT IN THE FORM OF RAIN AS FAR AS WE CAN
TELL. A FEW LOCATIONS NEAR THE CANADIAN AND NORTH DAKOTA BORDER
MAY HAVE HAD CONDITIONS JUST RIGHT FOR A BIT OF FREEZING RAIN TO
MIX IN THERE EARLY THIS MORNING. AS THIS PRECIPITATION WILL BE
QUICKLY DIMINISHING THIS MORNING...DO NOT EXPECT MUCH ICE
ACCUMULATION IF ANY AT ALL. SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
QUICKLY CLIMB ABOVE FREEZING BY LATER THIS MORNING.

DOWNSLOPE WINDS ALONG THE LEE SIDE OF THE LITTLE ROCKY MOUNTAINS
OVERNIGHT WERE STRONGER THAN ANTICIPATED.

TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE
COAST OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND EXERT ITS WARMING AND DRYING
INFLUENCE ACROSS MOST OF THE WESTERN STATES...MONTANA INCLUDED.
MODEL QPF CONSENSUS FOLLOWS SUIT KEEPING OUR CWA DRY AND
SEASONABLY WARM OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. TRIED TO REFLECT THAT
TREND IN HIGHER FORECAST CONFIDENCE WITH LOWER POPS AND SLIGHTLY
WARMER TEMPERATURES. BMICKELSON

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

UPPER RIDGE OVER THE ROCKIES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED
PERIOD EXPECTED TO BE PUSHED BACK TO THE WEST BY SOUTHWARD
STRENGTHENING HUDSON BAY LOW. THIS WILL START A TREND OF
TEMPERATURES SLOWLY DROPPING TO NEAR NORMAL BY THE END OF NEXT
WEEK.

PERIOD BEGINS WITH VERY WARM AIR POSITIONED ALONG THE FRONT RANGE
WITH UPPER RIDGE OVERHEAD ON TUESDAY. SHORTWAVE PUSHES THROUGH THE
CANADIAN ROCKIES AND PRAIRIES ON WEDNESDAY PULLING A COLD FRONT
THROUGH MONTANA FOR A DROP IN TEMPERATURES OF AROUND 10 DEGREES.
MODELS GENERALLY DRY WITH THIS SYSTEM AS SHORTWAVE TRACKS ACROSS
CANADA.

BRIEF REBOUND OF THE RIDGE OCCURS ON THURSDAY BEFORE ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE PUSHES THROUGH THE CANADIAN ROCKIES ON FRIDAY. THIS WAVE
PHASES WITH A STRONGER WAVE ROUNDING THE HUDSON BAY LOW AND
PULLING ARCTIC AIR MASS SOUTH ACROSS CENTRAL CANADA. A LITTLE MIXED
PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE CHANGING TO SNOW ON
FRIDAY AS THE ARCTIC AIR MOVE INTO THE REGION. EBERT
