KEY MESSAGES

- Cooler today with periodic light showers or sprinkles on the eastern plains.

- Dry and mild Friday through much of next week.

UPDATE

Mid level frontogenesis continues to produce light showers this morning from northern Golden Valley to southern Carter. Rainfall amounts of 0.01-0.06" have been measured in Musselshell and northeast Yellowstone over the past 6 hours. Ripples of light showers will continue in our north/east into tonight, after which the wave in southern AB will have passed, leading into a drier and warmer Friday with a return of downslope winds. JKL

AVIATION

Mid to low level cloud decks will persist across the region with isolated light showers through the forecast period, but VFR will generally prevail. The chance for MVFR from low clouds is only (~15%) for KLVM and KSHR through the morning hours. Mountains may be obscured at times. BT
