Flash Flood Warning 7, NWS Billings, MT

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
415 PM MDT SUN JUN 26 2005

.SHORT TERM...VALID FOR MON AND TUE...

STRONG SHORTWAVE MOVING NE THROUGH E ZONES PRODUCING SEVERE
WEATHER AND HEAVY RAIN. MODELS WERE SIMILAR IN HANDLING SITUATION
AND MOVED SHORTWAVE OUT OF AREA AROUND 00Z. OTHER SHORTWAVES WILL
APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE SW LATER TONIGHT BRINGING A CONTINUED
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

FOR MON...SAME PATTERN WILL CONTINUE OVER AREA DUE TO UPPER LOW
ANCHORED OVER PACIFIC NW. AIRMASS WILL ALSO BE SIMILAR SO EXPECT
ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG WINDS AND HAIL.

COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH AREA MON NIGHT WITH MODELS PROGGING
STRONG WARM ADVECTION OVER FAR EAST ZONES. AFTER 06Z...SE 850 MB
JET OF 30-40 KT WILL DEVELOP OVER THE EAST. TIME OF DAY NOT
CONDUCIVE TO SEVERE WEATHER...BUT WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR
POSSIBLE NOCTURNAL EVENT.

UPPER LOW WILL MOVE TO MT/CANADIAN BORDER BY 00Z WED CONTINUING
UNSETTLED CONDITIONS ON TUE. ARTHUR

.LONG TERM...VALID FOR WED...THU...FRI...SAT...SUN...

MODELS IN AGREEMENT AND GFS ENSEMBLES CONSISTENT IN MOVING TROF
OVER REGION TUE NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. LATEST RUNS TEND TO TREND
TROF PASSAGE A LITTLE SLOWER SO LINGERING POPS ON WEDNESDAY SEEMS
GOOD IDEA AS MAIN TROF AXIS MAY LINGER WITH WEAK WAVES IN
NORTHWEST FLOW POSSIBLY PRODUCING SOME CONVECTION WEDNESDAY.
PREVIOUS SHIFT TRENDED TEMPS DOWN WED AND CONTINUED THIS NOTION AS
COOLEST AIR ALOFT AND CLOUD COVER AFFECT AREA PRIMARILY WED.

REST OF PACKAGE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH MODELS GENERALLY DRYING US OUT
AFTER MIDWEEK FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. LAST SHIFT INTRODUCED SOME
LITE POPS TO MOUNTAINS FOR ZONAL FLOW CLIMATOLOGY WHICH IS HARD TO
ARGUE WITH. CONFIDENCE IN SOLUTION FOR NEXT WEEKEND DROPS AS
MODELS HINT AT A MORE UNSETTLED PATTERN DEVELOPMENT...SO LEFT
ALONE FOR NOW. TESAR

.AVIATION...

AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FROM
MLS TO BIL TO SHR THIS AFTERNOON DECREASING AFTER 01Z. BRIEF IFR
CONDITIONS CAN BE FOUND IN THIS AREA DUE TO LOW VSBY IN RAIN AND
LOW CEILINGS. LARGE HAIL IS POSSIBLE IN THE MLS VCNTY AS WELL.
OVER THE ROUTES WEST OF BIL SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION WITH MAINLY MVFR WITH STORMS...THOUGH
OCNL BRIEF HEAVY RAIN COULD LWR VSBY TO IFR IN ISOLD LOCATIONS.
THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD DECREASE OVER THE AREA AFT 03Z.
