==discussion==
An upper low currently located off of the Washington/Oregon coast
will begin to move inland today. However the forecast models
Are uncertain on the track and timing of this low as the system
crosses the Rockies into Southern Alberta and Montana. Thunderstorms
possibly severe are expected to form in Southern Alberta by early
this evening near the international border before growing upscale
into a larger area of rain that moves slowly northward. Local
rainfall amounts up to 50 millimetres may occur by Friday.
On Friday as the low moves over Northwest Montana, easterly upslope
winds will develop that will aid in maintaining an area of rain over
the foothills.
Latest forecast models suggest that total rainfall amounts will range
from 50 to 75 millimetres before the low moves out of the region late
Saturday.
At this time, the exact location of the heavy rain is uncertain.
The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as
warnings may be required or extended.
