Area forecast discussion
National Weather Service Missoula Montana
320 am MDT Sat may 25 2013
Discussion...today will start off rather nice with higher clouds
early and warmer temperatures this afternoon. The next shortwave,
in the southwesterly flow aloft, will arrive to north central
Idaho and southwest Montana this afternoon. Showers with isolated
thunderstorms will develop as the wave passes. The best chance for
thunderstorm placement will be from near Salmon, Idaho and into
west central Montana between Missoula and Butte. Showers will
linger into the late evening but in most cases will dissipate
after sunset.
A general trough will maintain for the rest of the weekend and
into next week. Cloud cover will increase from the west early
Sunday as the next wave moves into Idaho. Rain will increase
through the morning beginning in western Idaho followed by western
Montana in afternoon. The trend of showers and isolated
thunderstorms is also expected on both Monday and Tuesday with
near normal temperatures.
The rest of the week looks unstable with enough moisture in the
air to fire off showers and afternoon thunderstorms each day.
Wednesday looks to be the most unstable with the potential for
some strong thunderstorms.

Aviation...today looks to be a copy of Friday as the upper level
trough remains over the region. The morning looks to be rather
quite while after some day time heating, some showers and a
thunderstorm will be developing.
