that moved through last night/early this morning will bring well-
below seasonal average temperatures to the area. This afternoon due
to the northwest flow aloft there will be isolated showers over
North-central, Central, and Southwestern Montana. This afternoon
due to a strengthening pressure gradient it will be windy. On
Tuesday an upper-level ridge begins to approach Montana and this

rain/snow showers across the area. Due to northerly flow aloft on
Tuesday it will be cold across North-central, Central, and

pressure gradient it will be windy across North-central, Central,
and Southwestern Montana with the strongest winds in north-south

On Wednesday an upper-level ridge builds in over North-central,
