KEY MESSAGES

- Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms today. - Mild and dry pattern prevails Tuesday into the weekend.

UPDATE

Satellite imagery shows a splitting shortwave tracking slowly thru western MT. There is actually a region of fairly strong upper level divergence over our SW (per jet lifting out of UT) and we are seeing showers not only over SW mountains but also over lower elevations near Columbus and Rapelje. Have expanded isolated/ scattered pops this morning to account for these showers, which may at best produce a few hundredths of rain. As mid level temps cool under the trof there could be a little wet snow over the highest peaks of the Beartooths (above 11.5kft). JKL

AVIATION

14Z update...A broken line of showers is moving eastward through southern Montana and northern Wyoming this morning. Expect these showers to gradually taper off into this afternoon. Additional showers and thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and evening over the mountains (medium to high chance) and over far eastern Montana (low chance). With this, the mountains may be obscured at times. Localized MVFR conditions and breezy winds are possible as well. LA
