.DISCUSSION...

KEY MESSAGES:

- Temperature continues to swing with an unsettled weather
  pattern over the next week.

- Periods of light snow remain possible for the weekend (Thursday
  through Sunday).

WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW:

Today and tomorrow: Lingering, isolated snowfall will continue
through the early hours of the morning as the low pressure
clipper-ish system moves southeast out of Montana. Very little to
no additional accumulation is expected. Today will be dry and
cold as a strong arctic high pressure system drops south into the
Dakotas. Warmer air moves back into the area Thursday afternoon
with the passage of a warm front and upper ridging shortly behind.
Tomorrow afternoon will have quite seasonably average
temperatures! This, unfortunately, may cause icy roads as the
snowpack (2" at WFO Glasgow) partially or fully melts and freezes
overnight.

Friday through Sunday: Multiple embedded short-wave disturbances
along persistent northwesterly flow will bring repeating chances
for snow across NE Montana. Temperatures are expected to oscillate
back and forth from above, to near, to below normal at times with
each wave.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS:
Raised current overnight min temperatures, blended HRRR and NBM90
fro day 1-2 winds, raised PoPs for the early morning to reflect
current obs.

Today through tonight precip and temperatures: High confidence.
Thursday through the weekend temperatures: High confidence.
Thursday through the weekend precip: Moderate confidence.
