DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGES:
- GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS AND SLOWLY WARMING TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY.
- SUNDAY WILL BE THE WARMEST DAY IN MOST AREAS WITH A CHANCE OF
AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS.
- WIDESPREAD RAIN AND COOLER TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE STARTING
SUNDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING FOR SEVERAL DAYS.
WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW:
UPPER LOW OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL SLOWLY DRIFT EAST AS AN
UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. THIS WILL LEAD TO A
GENERAL WARMING TREND ACROSS EASTERN MONTANA UNTIL A COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA EITHER SUNDAY OR SUNDAY NIGHT. A WEAK
SHORTWAVE WILL SLIDE THROUGH THE RIDGE ON FRIDAY, WITH SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE NORTH. COLD FRONT WITH THE WAVE FRIDAY
MORNING WILL BRING STRONGER NORTHWEST WINDS, WHICH MAY BE ENOUGH
FOR A LAKE WIND ADVISORY. TEMPERATURES QUICKLY REBOUND ON SATURDAY
WITH THE AXIS OF UPPER RIDGE MOVING THROUGH EASTERN MONTANA.
DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT ON SUNDAY, MOST AREAS
WILL HAVE THEIR WARMEST DAY ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS NEAR 90 IN THE
EAST. WESTERN ZONES WHICH SHOULD SEE THE FRONT DURING THE MORNING
WILL LIKELY HAVE SATURDAY BE THE WARMEST DAY.
BEYOND THIS WEEKEND, AN UPPER TROUGH/LOW MOVING INTO THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST WILL DISPLACE THE RIDGE, AND LEAD TO COOLER AND WETTER
WEATHER FOR THE FIRST WEEK OF JUNE.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS:
HIGH CONFIDENCE ON THE WARMING TREND THROUGH SUNDAY. LOW
CONFIDENCE OF ANY PRECIPITATION CHANCES UNTIL SUNDAY NIGHT.
PRETTY MUCH WENT WITH THE NBM THROUGH THE ENTIRE 7 DAY PERIOD.
