AVIATION

Fog is forecast over portions south-central and eastern Montana, and northern Wyoming, this morning. While impacts to TAF sites remain uncertain, KMLS and KBIL have already seen some impacts from patchy fog. Any fog that develops this morning should lift after sunrise. Along with the fog, an area of low stratus over eastern Montana is expected to persist through the early morning hours today. With this, MVFR ceilings as low as 1,000 feet have been observed at KBHK. Outside of this, VFR conditions will prevail today. Over the Absaroka- Beartooth Mountains, there is a slight chance of light snow this morning, but impacts look to remain little to none. Arends
