.DISCUSSION...

Light snow and flurries will continue at times as late afternoon
sunshine makes an attempt peek through the overcast. At this
point, probabilities across NE Montana for 1 inch of snow are
mainly under 10 percent, so looking at a coating or less of
additional accumulations.

Surface high pressure will push south out of Canada this weekend
for mostly dry weather conditions with light winds along with more
pronounced sunshine at times.

Beyond Sunday Night, ensembles show an unsettled pattern
continuing with the next disturbance bringing in a chance for
light snow into Monday. A more significant system is apparent in
some of the ensemble members toward the middle of February. It is
yet too soon to determine if impacts will be confined to higher
terrain of western, central, and southern parts of the state, or
if accumulating snow will reach the CWA of NE Montana. For now
will trend pops toward NBM, while messaging that this may be the
next period of interest.

.AVIATION...
Expect mainly MVFR to IFR conditions due to low stratus and
continuing light snow and flurries expected to gradually end
tonight. Probabilities of 20 percent exist this evening for
visibilities under 2 miles, but chances drop off to less than 10
percent toward Saturday morning. VFR conditions should return on
Saturday as surface high pressure moves over the area with light
and variable winds at that time.
