339 PM MST MON NOV 6 2006

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
NATIONAL COMMS PROBLEMS THROUGH MIDDAY ALLOWED ONLY LIMITED TIME TO
ASSESS LATEST MODEL RUNS.  HOWEVER...OVERALL FORECAST ON TRACK WITH
STRENGTHENING WESTERLY FLOW SET TO BRING AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
PRECIPITATION TO THE WEST THROUGH THURSDAY.  IMMEDIATE FORECAST
PROBLEM IS POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WIND IN THE ABSAROKA MOUNTAINS AND
CODY FOOTHILLS.  WEAK PRESSURE RISES ACROSS NORTHWEST MONTANA
ASSOCIATED WITH SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS B.C./ALBERTA LINE THIS
AFTERNOON WILL DELAY ONSET OF HIGH WINDS UNTIL LATER TONIGHT.
BUFKIT SOUNDING DATA SHOWS 60 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET MOVING OVER THE
AREA EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AROUND 10Z AND THIS SHOULD PUSH WINDS
ACROSS HIGH WIND THRESHOLDS FOR A SUSTAINED PERIOD OF TIME THROUGH
TUESDAY MORNING.  MAIN 170 KNOT UPPER LEVEL JET THEN BEGINS TO SINK
SOUTH ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH 800
MILLIBAR WINDS INCREASING TO NEAR 50 KNOTS ALONG THE CODY FOOTHILLS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY EVENING.  CONSEQUENTLY...
THERE MAY BE ANOTHER BRIEF DIMINISHING OF HIGH WINDS LATE
TUESDAY MORNING IN THE WARNED AREA WITH HIGH WINDS RETURNING
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.  COLD ADVECTION AND DECREASING WIND AT H7 SHOULD
END THE HIGH WIND EVENT BY 9 PM TUESDAY.

IN THE WEST...WARM TEMPERATURES OBSERVED THIS AFTERNOON (46 ABOVE
10000 FEET AT HOBBS PARK) ARE ONLY GOING TO GET WARMER AS FLOW
BACKS TONIGHT WITH H7 TEMPERATURES INCREASING TO NEAR 5C TUESDAY
MORNING.  SNOW LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE ABOVE 10000 FEET WHILE
ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE KICKS IN WITH BACKING FLOW.  UPPER TROUGH OFF
THE NORTHWEST COAST THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES TUESDAY NIGHT...PUSHING A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA WITH
INCREASING BAROCLINICITY...AND SNOW LEVELS LOWERING TO NEAR 7000
FEET THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY.  NAM AND GFS DIFFER SUBSTANTIALLY ON
DEGREE OF COOLING WITH NAM MUCH COOLER THAN GFS WITH THIS FIRST
FRONT.  FORECAST LEANS STRONGLY TOWARD THE GFS WARMER VERSION IN
WESTERLY FLOW.  INCREASING RIGHT REAR QUADRANT JET LIFT COMBINED
WITH FAVORABLE MOIST WESTERLY FLOW...COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL RESULT
IN MORE WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATING SNOW IN THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS LATE
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. CURRENT FORECAST HAS
ADVISORY AMOUNTS OF 6 TO 12 INCHES IN THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS AND
HIGHER PEAKS OF THE BIG HORN MOUNTAINS TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  SECOND MAIN TROUGH IN THIS PATTERN TO MOVE THROUGH
IN A SPLIT OPEN MANNER THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT WITH PREVIOUS
FORECAST HANDLING THIS SCENARIO OF SPREADING PRECIPITATION EAST OF
THE DIVIDE ALONG WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES NEEDING NO CHANGES TODAY.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
MODELS HAVE BACKED OFF TONIGHT ON THE CHANCES THAT OUR THURSDAY
SYSTEM WILL CLOSE-OFF BUT THE EURO IS STILL A LITTLE STRONGER THAN
THE GFS. WILL MAKE MINIMAL CHANCES AND KEEP HIGH POPS IN THE
MOUNTAINS AND LOW CHANCE POPS EAST OF THE DIVIDE AS THE SYSTEM
MOVES THROUGH THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. GENERAL FEELING FOR THREE
DAYS NOW HAS BEEN THAT THIS SYSTEM WILL EXIT BY FRIDAY MORNING AND
THIS IS STILL ON TRACK. PATTERN FOR THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK HAS A CHANCE TO BE A BIG SNOW PRODUCER FOR OUR WESTERN
MOUNTAINS AS LARGE EASTERN PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO OPEN
UP AND ALLOW A STRONG...COLD...WESTERLY FLOW TO DEVELOP ACROSS MUCH
OF THE WEST WITH WYOMING ON THE CYCLONIC SIDE OF THE JET. AIRMASS
IS FORECAST TO BE QUITE MOIST AND WILL CONTINUE TREND OF HITTING THE
WESTERN MOUNTAINS WITH LIKELY POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD AND SPREAD
SOME POPS ACROSS THE I-80 CORRIDOR FOR STARTERS. IF TRENDS CONTINUE
FOR ONE MORE NIGHT...I WILL HIT THE WEST EVEN HARDER AS THIS COULD
PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL DURING THIS PERIOD. CURRENT EUROPEAN
AND GFS INDICATE THAT THE REMNANTS OF THE LARGE ERN PACIFIC TROUGH
WILL MOVE THROUGH ON MONDAY. SHOULD BE A VERY ACTIVE PERIOD FOR THE
WEST AND PLENTY COLD ENOUGH FOR ALL SNOW.

GENERALLY BE ABOVE 10000 FEET TUESDAY AND ABOVE 8500 TO 9000 FEET
WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER COLDER BUT QUICK HITTING SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS
