KEY MESSAGES

- A weather system will bring isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms tonight into Monday. - Thunderstorms tonight into Monday will be capable of producing localized heavy rain, gusty winds, and hail.

- Windy conditions are expected Monday into Tuesday (wind gusts of 25 to 50 mph, strongest in south-central MT Monday and eastern MT Tuesday). This will cause elevated fire weather conditions. - After a mostly dry mid-week, a weather system looks to bring cooler temperatures and the chance of precipitation back to the area Friday into the weekend. However, uncertainty remains.

AVIATION

Scattered showers and thunderstorms capable of producing locally heavy rain, gusty winds and hail are expected to lift south to north through the region later tonight into early Monday. Strongest storms could produce brief MVFR-IFR and gusts of 30-50 knots. Greatest potential for storms is between 05-13z. There may also be areas of stratus (mostly MVFR) between 06-15z, mainly west of KMLS. Mountains will be occasionally obscured.

On Monday, an early cold frontal passage will bring a shift to breezy west winds. Highest gusts (30-45 knots) will be along the western foothills impacting KLVM-K6S0-KHWQ, but gusts of 25-35 knots will spread east of the foothills in the afternoon. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are expected tomorrow but VFR will prevail as downslope west winds become dominant.
