.DISCUSSION...The ridge of high pressure will continue to be the
dominant feature over the Northern Rockies through the weekend.
Warm and dry conditions will persist as temperatures remain
around 10 degrees above normal for this time year. 

A disturbance is expected to slide southward out of Canada into 
eastern Montana and North Dakota on Tuesday. This system will
bring some light precipitation along the Continental Divide, while
cooler air gets pushed into the Northern Rockies from the east.
The higher terrain in Glacier NP and the Bob Marshall Wilderness 
could see some light snow accumulations by Tuesday afternoon. 

A ridge of high pressure builds back over the region by the latter
part of the work week causing warm and dry conditions once again.
