336 PM MDT MON JUL 27 2015

.SHORT TERM...FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
A STRONG SUMMER STORM SYSTEM WILL IMPACT NORTHEAST MONTANA TONIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING.

CURRENTLY THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH IS SWINGING THROUGH THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES...PLACING NORTHEAST MONTANA IN A SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
THE MAIN FOCUS IS FOR THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING...TRANSITIONING
TO HEAVY SHOWERS OVERNIGHT. SHEAR AND INSTABILITY IS SUCH THAT
SOME STORMS THIS EVENING COULD BE SEVERE...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
NORTH DAKOTA BORDER WHERE SHEAR AND INSTABILITY IS MORE FAVORABLE.

HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES TO BE A THREAT...ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE AREAS
THAT ALREADY SAW HEAVY PRECIP TOTALS LAST NIGHT...THUS THE FLOOD
WATCH WAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE VALLEY AND DANIELS COUNTIES.

TUESDAY MORNING WINDS WILL QUICKLY BE ON THE UPTICK AS THE UPPER
LOW DEEPENS OVER SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN. MODELS CONTINUE TO DEPICT WINDS
REACHING 40 TO 60 MPH...THUS WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED A HIGH WIND
WARNING FOR ALL OF NORTHEAST MONTANA.

WINDS WILL QUICKLY DECREASE BY SUNSET ON TUESDAY AS THE STACKED
SYSTEM PUSHES OUT TO THE EAST. PRECIPITATION WILL HAVE ALL BUT
ENDED ACROSS MONTANA AS WELL...WITH JUST THE FAR NORTHEAST
POSSIBLY SEEING SOME SHOWERS DURING THE EVENING HOURS.

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WILL BE CONSIDERABLY QUIETER AS UPPER
RIDGING BEGINS TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

THE UPPER RIDGE REBOUNDS IN THE WEST...WHICH WILL GENERATE ZONAL
TO SLIGHTLY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA. THIS
WILL BE A GENERALLY WARM AND DRY PATTERN THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ALSO
CONTINUOUS DISTURBANCES IN CANADA WILL TEND TO MAINTAIN THE
STATIONARY BOUNDARY OVER THE LOCAL REGION. THIS WILL KEEP THE HOT
DESERT AIR TO OUR SOUTH...WHICH WILL KEEP OUR TEMPERATURES NEAR
NORMAL. FEW NEEDED CHANGE TO THE EXTENDED PERIOD. SCT

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
UPPER HIGH DOMINATES OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE
EXTENDED PERIOD...WITH RIDGE EXTENDING INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES.
UPPER LOW CURRENTLY MOVING TOWARD MONTANA STALLS OUT OVER HUDSON
BAY BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP NORTHEAST MONTANA IN
SLIGHTLY NORTHWEST FLOW INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

REBOUNDING RIDGE WILL BRING HOT AND DRY WEATHER BACK INTO MONTANA
FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. HOWEVER JET ACROSS WESTERN CANADA WILL
SUPPRESS RIDGE ENOUGH TO KEEP TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL. WHILE MOST
OF THE MOISTURE ALSO REMAINS NORTH OF THE BORDER A FEW SHORTWAVES
MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW COULD PUSH SHOWERS TOWARD THE HILINE BY
THE WEEKEND BUT WILL KEEP FORECAST DRY FOR NOW. EBERT

.AVIATION...
A POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES TODAY
THAT WILL BRING AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN...THUNDERSTORMS...SOME
SEVERE...AND VERY STRONG WINDS LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH

MOSTLY VFR THIS AFTERNOON...HOWEVER A SURFACE LOW IN NORTHEAST
WYOMING WILL BRING STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS OF 25-35KT...

NORTH AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS
