AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MISSOULA MT
134 PM MST WED NOV 30 2005

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND TOMORROW...RADAR SHOWS LIGHT BANDS OF
SNOW DEVELOPING OVER THE AREA AT CURRENT TIME. THESE DO NOT LOOK AS
STRONG AS THE BAND THAT PUT DOWN AROUND A HALF FOOT OF SNOW AROUND
MISSOULA TODAY...BUT GIVEN THEIR DISTANCE FROM THE RADAR CANNOT
RULE OUT MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW FALLING FROM THEM. WILL KEEP
ASSORTED WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES GOING FOR THIS. WE MAY SEE SNOW
TAPER QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET AS CONVECTION SHOULD SETTLE WITHOUT THE
HELP OF SURFACE WARMING. NOT TOTALLY CONFIDENT IN THIS...SO WILL
KEEP FORE-MENTIONED PRODUCTS GOING INTO THE EVENING HOURS. SNOW
SHORN MONTANA
TONIGHT.

ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM PROGGED TO MOVE IN FROM THE WEST TOMORROW. A
WARM FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL MAKE ITS WAY NORTH INTO
CENTRAL IDAHO BY THE NOON...BRINGING MAINLY SNOW ALONG WITH IT.
LOWER VALLEYS AND THE CAMAS PRAIRIE COULD SEE RAIN AND SNOW MIXED
BEFORE TURNING TO SNOW. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BRING HEAVY SNOW TO
AREAS OF THE BITTERROOT AND CLEARWATER MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE DAY
TOMORROW.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY NEX NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS THE NEXT IN A SERIES OF WINTER STORMS
MOVES INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THIS STORM WILL MAKE ITS PRESENCE
OVER THE ENTIRE NORTHERN ROCKIES THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE TAPERING
OFF FRIDAY MORNING IN THE VALLEYS AND MOUNTAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
GOOD SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS DURING THIS
TIME FRAME...HENCE A WINTER STORM WATCH HAS BEEN POSTED THURSDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. COLDER STRONG NORTHEAST TO EAST
WINDS COULD MATERIALIZE ALONG THE DIVIDE AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENTS
TIGHTEN WITH THE APPROACHING LOW THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THE STORM MOVES THROUGH THE REGION BY LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
BEHIND IT WILL BE MAINLY A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFTESDAY. THE MODELS BEGIN TO DIFFER IN
THEIR SOLUTIONS SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. THEY ALL TRY TO
DEVELOP A RIDGE...BUT THE PLACEMENT AND STRENGTH DIFFER
SIGNIFICANTLY. THE GFS HAS THE RIDGE OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND
MUCH STRONGER THAN THE PREFERRED SOLUTIONS...NAMELY THE ECMWF...
DGEX AND UKMET. THEY HAVE THE RIDGE FURTHER WEST OVER THE WEST
COAST AND WEAKER. THESE SOLUTIONS LEAVE THE NORTHERN ROCKIES IN
MORE OF A NORTHWEST FLOW WITH WEAK SYSTEMS MOVING THROUGH THE
FLOW. THIS WILL KEEP THE MOUNTAIN SHOWERS GOING THROUGH TUESDAY.
EXPECT COLDER AIR TO GRADUALLY WORK ITS WAY IN BY MONDAY. CURRENT
TEMPERATURE FORECASTS LOOK GOOD.

.AVIATION...FLIGHT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE AFTER SUNSET TONIGHT
WITH A FEW SNOW SHOWERS LOWERING CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES. ANOTHER
SNOW STORM IS EXPECTED TOMORROW AFTERNOON...MAINLY SOUTH OF KMSO
