.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGES:
1) Patchy fog cannot be ruled out in the valleys overnight but
confidence is lower compared with this morning.
2) Warmer and mainly dry weather are expected into Sunday.
3) A cold front may deliver thunderstorm chances Sunday evening
followed by gusty west to northwest winds on Monday.
WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW:
Upper ridging over the weekend will help guide a warmer and mainly
dry pattern across the region. Highs on Sunday may push mid and
upper 80s before the next cold front arrives. The cold front will
bring increased thunderstorm chances late Sunday during the
evening hours at night, especially over central and southern
Montana.
For Monday, post-frontal cold air advection looks to support gusty
west to northwest winds developing over the area. Future shifts
may need to consider the Lake Wind Advisory for Fort Peck Lake.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS:
NBM was used to populate the forecast this time around with little
deviation. HREF and/or NBM90 may need to be considered to nudge
winds for Monday given the post-frontal environment expected to
take hold. Confidence is at or above average for this forecast
cycle with NBM capturing expected trends rather well for now.

.AVIATION...
UPDATE: 2015Z, September 19th
FLIGHT CAT RANGE:VFR.
DISCUSSION: Mainly clear skies overnight and light winds will
allow VFR conditions over area terminals. That said, look for
small chances for patchy fog once again for valley locations,
especially in eastern areas. Confidence in this however is far
lower than average.
WIND: South to southeast continuing at 5 to 15 kts.
EQUIPMENT: Comms issues with the KSDY observation remain. AMD NOT
SKED will remain in place until METARs are available.
