AVIATION

00z Aviation Discussion...Breezy conditions late this afternoon over SE Montana will diminish heading toward sunset this evening, with mostly clear skies and light winds overnight. A disturbance moving in from the south will bring increasing clouds (ceilings 12-20kft AGL) from south to north around sunrise along with a chance of showers to the southern mountains. By late morning southerly winds will increase with gusts in the 20-30 mph range common Tuesday afternoon across the forecast area. Showers will become possible in the foothills by 16-18z, with isolated thunderstorms possible in the afternoon, mainly near the higher terrain. At this time the atmosphere looks too dry below 10kft AGL to support precipitation making it to the ground over the plains, but will need to be alert for localized gusty winds and low level turbulence near areas of virga tomorrow afternoon.
