MT Forecast Discussion:
Another surge of Pacific moisture will also return Sunday afternoon and into the the day on Monday along the Continental Divide and over Southwest/Central Montana, which will lead to another round of precipitation. Falling snow levels Sunday night will lead to precipitation changing over to snow over most mountainous locations over the previously mentioned regions, with snow continuing into the day on Monday over the mountains as cooler air filters south from Canada. Monday night through Friday...large scale troughing followed by northwest flow aloft will bring unsettled conditions and a return to normal and/or slightly below normal temperatures for all of North Central and Southwest Montana. While moderate to high confidence continues to exists in this return to a wetter and cooler pattern, timing/location of the future precipitation events remains somewhat low due to continued model differences. However, at this time, it appears that Southwest and Central Montana have the best chance of seeing appreciable valley rainfall and mountain snowfall. Those with outdoor plans/interests should continue to monitor future forecasts, especially those planning to recreate/hunt in the higher elevations. - NOAA Great Falls, MT
