.DISCUSSION...

KEY MESSAGES:

-  Cooler temperatures and periods of valley rain and mountain
   snow Saturday evening through Monday

-  High pressure bringing stable conditions, temperatures slightly
   above normal through midweek

High pressure and stable conditions have developed over the
region. Chances for morning valley fog are small as a weak 
northeasterly gradient will allow for light winds and valley 
mixing. These conditions will repeat through Saturday afternoon.

By the time the Pacific low gets inland on Saturday, it will
follow a familiar theme and move south, bringing most of its
forcing with it. There will, however, be enough moisture and lift
for precipitation focused on north-central Idaho and southwest 
Montana, as well as the mountains along the Continental Divide, on
Saturday night through Monday. Snow levels will be around 
5000-6000 feet, which would be low enough for a couple inches of 
snow on Lost Trail Pass and Gilmore Summit by Monday morning. 

High pressure builds for midweek, allowing for stable, warm
conditions. The stability could mean fog for the Tuesday morning
commute in the valleys of western Montana such as the Bitterroot,
Missoula, Mission, and Flathead valleys. Ensemble guidance is
hinting at more unsettled weather for later next week, but there 
is still considerable spread in the solutions, so confidence is 
quite low at this time.


&&

.AVIATION...Valley fog in the vicinity of KMSO and KGPI are a
possibility this morning, however a weak northeasterly gradient
may keep valleys sufficiently mixed up. High pressure will create
stable conditions through tomorrow with broken mid to high clouds
over the airspace.



&&

.MSO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
MT...None.
ID...None.
