   Valid 180148Z - 180445Z   
      
   SUMMARY...At least brief bouts of blizzard conditions are possible   
   over the next few hours. Winds may sustain over 35 mph periodically,   
   and overlap with at least moderate snow, potentially resulting in   
   bouts of reduced visibility.   
      
   DISCUSSION...Surface troughing continues to progress eastward across   
   the northern Plains, supporting very strong surface-850 mb cold-air   
   advection across portions of northeast Montana. Amid this cold-air   
   advection is a pronounced band of snow, with at least moderate   
   snowfall rates likely occurring given the presence of a 1-km deep,   
   saturated dendritic growth zone per latest mesoanalysis and RAP   
   forecast soundings. Furthermore, latest mesoanalysis trends also   
   depict increasing flow in the 925-850 mb layer, perhaps exceeding 50   
   kts at times. When also considering strong gradient surface flow   
   already present in the region, any form of downward momentum   
   transport could support wind fields meeting blizzard criteria, at   
   least on a spotty basis. These winds may coincide with at least   
   moderate snowfall rates, leading to reduced visibility.=20   
      
   Potential blizzard conditions are expected to persist for at least   
   the next 3-4 hours. These conditions may first develop closer to the   
   Glasgow area and approach the ND border later.
