.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGES:
- A warm ridge of high pressure brings a return to summer-like
  conditions by early next week.
- Daily chances for showers and thunderstorms return to our region
  by the middle of next week.
WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW:
Following areas of early season frost this morning over far NE
Montana, a warm upper level ridge of high pressure over the
Pacific NW is drifting eastward into Montana now through early
next week. This will allow for mainly clear and sunny skies, low
humidity, and high temperatures rebounding to as warm as the upper
80s from Sunday into midweek.
The next low pressure system will push into the Pacific NW and
orient some SW flow aloft approaching NE Montana as early as Tuesday
evening. This will direct more Pacific moisture and some
instability into our region and set the stage for a return to
scattered thunderstorms later next week. At this time, model data
is unclear regarding placement and timing of these storms. Those
details will become more clear by mid-week.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS:
Stayed close to the base forecast besides adding some detail to
short term winds and temperatures. There is high confidence in
the forecast through Tuesday, then more average confidence
thereafter for the extent of rain chances.
