...Pacific Northwest/Northern Rockies...
Days 2-3...

A closed low south of the Gulf of Alaska continues to trek to the
southeast as evidenced by the latest WV satellite analysis.
Expectation is for the low to slowly weaken into a positively-
tilted upper trough as its cold front moves through WA/OR on
Sunday. Despite some injection of mid- latitude Pacific moisture,
the system will be progressive and QPF will be limited. Snow levels
will be on the lower side -- 2500-4000ft in the Cascades before
lowering further behind the front to 1500-3000ft. This will bring
some snow to the passes and probabilities for at least 6 inches are
at least 50% above about 3000ft or so for the northern Cascades.

Farther east, moisture will stream into the northern Rockies and
eventually into northern/northwestern Wyoming Sunday evening
through Monday and overnight into very early Tuesday, ending from
west/northwest to east/southeast. Amounts will again be generally
light, with probabilities of at least 6 inches at least 50% above
about 5000ft in ID/MT but above 9000-10,000ft in WY. Highest totals
>8" are most likely across the Lewis Range in northwest MT and the
Absoroka's in southern MT into northwest WY with the Lewis Range's
likely to see a foot or more above 7000ft.

Front end of the precip shield advancing across the Northern
Plains could support some light icing over northern ND early Monday
with generally a few hundredths of an inch possible.

The probability of significant icing across the CONUS for days 1-3
is less than 10%.
