921 FXUS65 KGGW 151012 AFDGGW Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Glasgow MT 412 AM MDT Mon Oct 15 2018 .DISCUSSION... Generally mild weather expected over the next week as an upper ridge comes to dominate the western CONUS. Chinook warm front dropping into Montana out of Canada this morning. Temperatures have been warming, and expect winds to increase behind the front later this morning. Band of mid level clouds accompany the front along with a few radar echos. However low levels are generally dry, so not anticipating any significant precipitation with the system. Temperatures warm through midweek as the ridge builds and downslope flow brings warmer air across the Rockies. Next feature of note is a backdoor cold front that drops into the state Thursday night. This front is driven by a shortwave trof pushing through central Canada, deflecting the ridge westward. This will pull some colder air back into the northern plains for the end of the week. As the ridge builds back up, temperatures will also rebound through next weekend. Ebert && .AVIATION... VFR conditions expected with a deck of mid level clouds moving across the region today.
