KEY MESSAGES:
- Above normal temperatures through the rest of the week.
- Active weather pattern returns this weekend.
Today will remain a benign weather day for the Northern Rockies, with a weak disturbance moving northward overnight tonight. The result of this will clip the southern fringe of Lemhi county, ID, with a 25 percent probability of snow occurring on Highway 28 over Gilmore Summit tonight through Wednesday. Be wary of wintry conditions if you have plans to travel over the pass for the next day or so.
Conditions elsewhere across western Montana and north central Idaho will remain similar to that of today: occasional clouds, above normal temperatures, and overall mild and featureless weather will persist through Friday. The next chance for rain and/or snow arrives this weekend. Weather models currently show several different possibilities for a storm system moving southward along the West Coast and eventually inland through next week.
The timing and track of the center of the low being ushered onshore with the trough leaves a lot of questions. The track of the center of the low will dictate how much precipitation wraps northward and into western Montana and north central Idaho. If the low moves through southern California, the influence of precipitation will be felt far less across our region. If the low takes a more northerly track, we'll have a better shot at receiving more precipitation. Also in question is how much cold air will be drawn down out of Canada.
With so many questions still in the air, it would be best to keep an eye on the way this system evolves in the coming days.
AVIATION
A benign weather day exists across the Northern Rockies today with generally light winds and high clouds present on the currently visible satellite imagery. A weak disturbance over southern Idaho later tonight through Wednesday could create mountain obscurations around KSMN and points south.
