.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Issued at 253 AM MDT Wed Apr 2 2025

Upper trough over the region will begin to move east on Friday. We
may still see a few isolated showers on Friday, but any additional
precipitation should be light. Ridge begins to build into the region
on Saturday. This will bring dry weather for the weekend. Models
continue to pick up on a weak shortwave moving into our area for
Monday into Tuesday. This system doesn`t look like a significant
storm and should just produce some isolated to scattered showers if
it materializes. Then the ridge strengthen with dry weather for
Wednesday and beyond. Temps are still expected to be below normal
Friday, but quickly rise above normal over the weekend and through
next week. Lower elevations will once again be flirting with 70
degree temps my middle of next week.

Some mvfr ceilings have developed around DIJ and will persist for
several hours this morning. Otherwise, mainly expecting scattered
snow showers to develop this afternoon. Not enough confidence to
place them on station anywhere. If a shower should happen to pass
over a terminal, expect brief mvfr to ifr conditions along with some
gusty winds. Outside of showers, winds look fairly light today with
SUN probably turning upvalley this afternoon.
