.DISCUSSION...

Through Friday...

A warm and dry pattern will persist through Monday with temperatures
10-20 degrees above average with high temperatures generally in
the 50s F.

Winds will be strong at times over the western foothills through
Monday as the foothills pressure gradient increases into the 5-10
mb range and 700 mb winds increase into the 30-40 kt range.
Livingston has a 50% chance of getting a wind gust over 50 mph.
Wind gusts along the US-191 corridor will not be as strong with
maximum wind gusts expected to be in the 40s mph.

The weather is expected to get more active starting Tuesday. There
is high confidence that we will enter a cooler pattern with more
seasonal temperatures. There is also high confidence that
precipitation chances will return to the region, though details
are uncertain at this time. Ensemble systems and deterministic
models indicate a surface low moving across the Northern Plains
Tuesday/Wednesday. Looking at the data currently available, one
thing that could limit this systems impact on southeast Montana is
the location of the low. Ensemble systems are currently showing
the low pressure system centered near the Wyoming/Montana border.
This setup would push most of the precipitation to our north and
east. That being said, this system is still at least 4 days out,
so significant uncertainty exists. There is a 20-60% chance of
getting greater than 0.1 inches of precipitation across the region
with the highest chances being further north and east. The chance
for greater than 0.25 inches decreases to 10-30%. Precipitation
types are also uncertain with rain, snow, and a rain/snow mix
being possible. The chance of getting greater than 1 inch of
snowfall is 10-40% with the highest chances being in Fallon
County. Precipitation chances continue late in the week with
models showing another low moving out over the plains. Given how
far out it is, not much more can be said about it at this point.
