808 PM MST MON NOV 28 2005

.UPDATE...UPDATED ZONE FORECASTS TO REFLECT SLIGHTLY SLOWER ONSET
OF SNOWFALL OVER NORTH CENTRAL IDAHO AND WESTERN MONTANA TONIGHT
AND TUESDAY MORNING. CURRENT OBSERVATIONS AND LATEST MODEL DATA
SUGGESTING THAT INITIAL SNOWFALL SEVERAL HOURS SLOWER THAN PREVIOUSLY
THOUGHT. ADDED PATCHY FREEZING FOG FOR THE MISSION AND FLATHEAD
VALLEYS WITH SEVERAL HOURS OF PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES LATER
TONIGHT..COULD SEE SOME VALLEY FOG DEVELOPMENT. INCREASED THE
MISSOULA AND HAMILTON OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPS A COUPLE OF DEGREES
GIVEN SOUTHEAST BREEZE KEEPING TEMPS FROM RAPIDLY FALLING AHEAD OF
CIRRUS DECK IN EASTERN WASHINGTON. ALL IN ALL...FORECAST AND WINTER
HIGHLIGHTS LOOK ON TRACK. ONE CONCERN MAYBE THE STRONG POST-
FRONTAL WIND POTENTIAL IN THE HEAVY SNOW WARNING AREAS. 00Z NAM12
NOW MORE IN LINE WITH 12Z GFS REGARDING 45 KNOT WINDS AT MOUNTAIN
TOP LEVEL. MAIN AREA AFFECTED WOULD BE THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF
THE BITTERROOTS. WILL LET MID-SHIFT TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THINGS.
MAY JUST MENTION STRONG WINDS ALONG WITH THE HEAVY SNOW FOR THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THAT AREA INSTEAD OF CHANGING THE WINTER
WEATHER HIGHLIGHT LABEL.

&&

.AVIATION...PATCHY FREEZING FOG IS POSSIBLE LATER THIS EVENING IN
THE MISSION AND FLATHEAD VALLEYS AS SKIES BRIEFLY BECOME PARTLY
CLOUDY. ANOTHER PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT NORTH
CENTRAL IDAHO AND WESTERN MONTANA LATER TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
AREAS OF SNOW AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS WILL MOVE
FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON
WITH A BRIEF BREAK OCCURRING TUESDAY EVENING. WIDESPREAD MODERATE
TO HEAVY SNOW IS POSSIBLE OVER AND NEAR THE KMSO TERMINAL
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 309 PM MST MON NOV 28 2005)

SHORT TERM...A STRONG PACIFIC SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO SWING THROUGH
WESTERN MONTANA AND NORTH CENTRAL IDAHO LATE THIS EVENING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. WITH THIS SYSTEM HEAVY SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED IN THE
MOUNTAINS WITH SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE IN MANY VALLEY
LOCATIONS BY THE END OF THIS EVENT. THE SYSTEM WILL INITIALLY BE
CONVECTIVE IN NATURE...PRODUCING OROGRAPHIC SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS
THE REGION EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON...A
CONVERGENT SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL DEVELOP AND SHIFT INTO NORTHWEST
MONTANA BRINGING HEAVY SNOW TO THE GLACIER PARK REGION.

BY WEDNESDAY...THIS SURFACE BOUNDARY SHIFTS SOUTH AND FOCUSES
GENERALLY OVER THE I-90 CORRIDOR. WITH THIS CONVERGENT BOUNDARY AND STRONG
MID-LEVEL WINDS IN PLACE...BANDING IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION...ESPECIALLY
FOR THE MISSOULA AND BITTERROOT VALLEYS.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...THE MODELS ARE IN
AGREEMENT THAT WESTERN MONTANA AND NORTH CENTRAL IDAHO WILL BE
UNDER AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE MODELS HAVE DIFFERENT TIMINGS OF
FEATURES SWINGING THROUGH. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE
DOMINANT FEATURE FOR THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.
THEN GFS HAS ANOTHER STRONG SYSTEM MOVING INTO NORTH CENTRAL
IDAHO AND SOUTHWEST MONTANA ON THURSDAY NIGHT. WHILE THE LATEST
NAM HAS THIS SAME FEATURE COMING IN TWELVE HOURS LATER. THEN THERE
WILL BE SEVERAL WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH WESTERLY FLOW OVER
THE WEEKEND. THEN ON MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE REGION.

AVIATION...A WEAK RIDGE IS DOMINANT THE AREA TODAY. ALLOWING THE
SKIES TO BECOME SCATTERED. THERE A FEW SHOWER ALONG THE
DIVIDED...BUT THESE SHOWERS WILL DISSIPATE THIS EVENING. THEN
ANOTHER STRONG PACIFIC SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA ON TUESDAY.
THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING WIDESPREAD SNOW TO WESTERN MONTANA AND
NORTH CENTRAL IDAHO. THE VISIBILITY WILL BE REDUCED WITH MOUNTAINS
AND PASSES BEING OBSCURED...SEE APPROPRIATE TAFS AND TWEBS.
