Area Forecast Discussion

.DISCUSSION...Building high pressure has produced a very nice day
across western Montana and Central Idaho. Temperatures should
reach the 90s for much of the valleys of Western Montana with mid
90s for portions of Central Idaho.

Monday and Tuesday...High pressure will continue to control the
weather across the region with temperatures continuing to warm.
Upper 90s will be common in western Montana and a few 100s are
expected in west Central Idaho. Some southwest monsoonal moisture
though will creep up underneath the ridge and with some
instability to work with, a few thunderstorms are expected to
develop. This will be more evident in Southwestern Montana and
Lemhi County of Idaho. The storms are expected to be the more
common airmass variety with very little potential of becoming
severe.

From mid-week to the end of the week, the ridge begins to weaken a
little, allowing temperatures to slightly drop and showers and
thunderstorms to migrate further north into West-Central Montana.


&&

.AVIATION...Great flying conditions will continue this evening and
into tomorrow. Predominantly light winds and mostly clear skies
are expected. A few showers and thunderstorms are possible
tomorrow afternoon across SW Montana and Central Idaho, with an
outside chance of storms impacting KBTM and KSMN.

.MSO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
