KEY MESSAGES

- Warming trend and mostly dry through Memorial Day; expect mountain snow melt to increase river flows.

- Increasing potential for showers and thunderstorms by middle of next week; details uncertain at this time.

UPDATE

Dewpts today have fallen more than previously thought (currently mid 20s across the west) thus showers have not yet materialized, but we are starting to see a little development over the Little Belts and Snowies. A few light showers may spread over our W/NW over the next few hours so will not make any changes to the forecast at this time. Further upstream there are a few t-storms over far NW Montana as another weak wave drops out of BC. As this energy tracks to the southeast, there is a low chance of a few showers making it to our western mountains later tonight. But again, the air mass in place is pretty dry. Will need to watch for potential patchy fog near the Dakotas border late tonight. JKL

AVIATION

00z Discussion...

A stray shower is possible through 06z but is unlikely at any location. High clouds will build in through the period as winds slowly increase to between 10-15kts during the daytime hours Saturday. Pockets of fog are possible between 06-14z in far eastern Montana (KMLS/KBHK). WMR
