.DISCUSSION...

Consensus continues surrounding a generally quiet weather period
for this week across northeast Montana. Northwest to zonal upper
flow regime will prevail with little or no precipitation for the
next several days.

Latest 00z ensemble 500mb heights point to upper ridging building
stronger over the western U.S. toward the end of the week. Given
large scale subsidence and rising heights, this guidance would
point to a continuation of dry weather conditions as well as a
gradual upswing in temperatures. Sure enough, consensus blends
lead to highs in the mid 30s to low 40s by about Friday or
Saturday, several degrees above average. Maliawco

.AVIATION...

VFR conditions are expected today, though brief LLWS issues may
occur early this morning. Otherwise, surface winds will be west,
generally in a range between 5 and 15 kts today with occasional
higher gusts. Maliawco
