.DISCUSSION...
/Issued 256 PM MDT Sat Jun 28 2025/
- Meteorological Overview:
Aside from a few scattered showers and thunderstorms across North
Central Montana, the next few days will be rather dry as upper
level ridging begins to build across the North Western United
States. As this ridge builds across the region, temperatures will
begin to climb, with many areas seeing temperatures climb into the
90s by Monday or Tuesday. Warm temperatures will linger across
the area until around Friday. Moisture working into the area will
allow for some showers and thunderstorms as early as Wednesday,
with chances increasing through the remainder of the week into
Independence Day.
- Forecast Confidence & Scenarios:
Temperatures next week: Confidence is rather high in a period of
seasonably warm temperatures for a good chunk of next week thanks
to a building upper level ridge. Overall, there doesnt appear to
be much in the way of uncertainty with regards to actual
temperatures, as model spreads are generally within 5 degrees or
so across the area. Biggest area of uncertainty will be in regards
to showers and thunderstorms beyond Wednesday, as a well timed
shower or storm may keep temperatures from reaching their full
potential.
Showers and thunderstorms next week: As moisture begins to sneak
into the plains of Montana next week, the added moisture will help
to add some instability to the atmosphere and allow for afternoon
showers and thunderstorms to develop every day from Wednesday.
There does remain a fair amount of uncertainty as to the coverage
and strength of the storms, as the warm air aloft and weak
directional wind shear may limit thunderstorm potential. With that
said, a few of the storms could muster enough strength and
organization to allow for some gusty winds and hail to form.
