DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGES: - A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for mainly Freezing Rain that is possible north of a Malta to Circle to Glendive line tonight into early Friday.

- Temperatures turn milder through Friday, then drop on Saturday. High winds are a slight possibility with a cold front late Friday.

- A slightly warmer than normal and less unsettled pattern is favored next week but a weak system may bring some wintry precip Monday. WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW:

A warm front will move in tonight bringing some snow then the possibility of Freezing Rain from the west. This looks to affect mainly areas north of a Malta to Circle to Glendive line. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for a glaze up to 0.05" which would make roads and sidewalks very slick.

Friday, the system moves to our east. Sunshine and warmer temps should melt most of the ice by the afternoon. But another cold front will move in during the afternoon that will bring falling afternoon temps from the north. Wind gusts may warrant some attention in regard to high wind highlights, but will leave that to later shifts to get a better look at.

Cold conditions Friday night and Saturday could mean brief Cold Advisory conditions near the Canadian border.

A slight warm-up ensues Sunday and Monday but precip Monday could bring headaches with mixed precipitation. Otherwise, next week features temperatures near seasonable levels with slight chances for precipitation.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE & DEVIATIONS:

Basically stuck with the NBM on this package, but did mix winds late Friday with NBM90. TFJ
