KEY MESSAGES

- A Severe Solar Radiation Storm Event and Severe Geomagnetic Storm Alert have been issued by SWPC. Vist www.swpc.noaa.gov for more information.

- Gusty winds along western foothills tonight into Tuesday (gusts 40-65 mph). - Cold front brings gusty northwest winds across the region Tuesday (gusts 30-50 mph). Brief period of snow showers may bring areas of blowing snow, especially east of Billings.

- Gusty winds Tuesday night and Wednesday with another fast-moving cold front.

- Colder with a slight chance (10-25%) of light snow Thursday and Friday, and perhaps into Saturday. Less wind.

- Warming trend by the weekend. This week's modest cold spell looks brief, and forecast temps overall have trended not as cold. Gusty foothills winds may return.

AVIATION

Breezy conditions will prevail today, especially along the western foothills (including KLVM, K6S0, and K3HT). While winds will back off over the plains this evening into tonight, winds along the western foothills will remain elevated into Tuesday ahead of a mid-day cold front passage. This cold front will bring gusty northwesterly winds (gusts in the 20s to 40s knots) and scattered snow showers through region Tuesday. With this, there is a moderate to high chance of seeing MVFR conditions over eastern Montana, northern Wyoming, and along the foothills of south- central Montana. Arends
