.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGES:
- A high pressure ridge brings a return to summer-like conditions by early next week.
- Daily chances for showers and thunderstorms return the middle of next week.
WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW:
Following areas of early season frost this morning over far NE Montana, an warm upper level ridge of high pressure over the Pacific NW is drifting eastward into Montana by early next week. This will allow for mainly clear 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.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS:
Stayed close to the base forecast besides adding some detail to short term winds and temperature spread. There is high confidence in the forecast through Tuesday, then more average confidence thereafter for the extent of rain chances.
