AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
235 PM MST SUN JAN 8 2006

.DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT...WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM
THE WEST TONIGHT...BRINGING AN END TO ANY LINGERING PRECIPITATION
OVER CENTRAL AND SW MT BY SUNSET. WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING
DRIER AIR AND CLEARING SKIES TO MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH
ONLY A FEW LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS ALONG NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. CLEAR SKIES OVERNIGHT AND SOME FRESH SNOW COVER
WILL ALLOW FOR COLD TEMPS TONIGHT IN THE SW VALLEYS. THESE
CONDITIONS WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PATCHY FOG TONIGHT
IN THE SW MT VALLEYS. WILL SEE WIND SPEEDS GRADUALLY INCREASE LATER
THIS EVENING ON THE PLAINS...KEEPING LOW TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN
THE UPPER TEENS AND 20S.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...THE RIDGE FLATTENS AS IT SHIFTS EAST AND
STRONG WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT DEVELOPS OVER THE REGION. SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN ALBERTA FOR GUSTY DOWNSLOPE WINDS ALONG THE
ROCKY MTN FRONT. PRESSURE GRADIENTS ARE NOT IDEAL FOR WIDESPREAD
HIGH WINDS AND WILL ONLY UPGRADE TO A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THE
ROCKY MTN FRONT. MOISTURE IN THE WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL
INCREASE...BRINGING INCREASING PRECIPITATION TO THE CONTINENTAL
DIVDE...WHILE DOWNSLOPE WINDS KEEP THE PLAINS DRY.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...FAST WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH SEVERAL EMBEDDED DISTURBANCES BRINGING
SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION TO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. SNOW LEVELS WILL
BE AROUND 5000 FEET THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH A FOOT OR BETTER SNOW
AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IN THE HIGHEST TERRAIN NEAR GLACIER PARK...HOWEVER
EXPECTED SNOW AMOUNTS NEAR PASS LEVEL WILL LIKELY REMAIN JUST BELOW
WARNING LEVEL. GUSTY DOWNSLOPE WINDS WILL CONTINUE...BUT
WIDESPREAD HIGH WINDS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED. SOME LIGHT SHOWERS MAY
DEVELOP ON THE PLAINS AS WELL BY TUESDAY NIGHT AS A WARM FRONT
DEVELOPS OVER NORTHCENTRAL MT. HOENISCH

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE BEGINS TO BE REPLACED BY A TROF MOVING IN FROM THE
WEST. THE AIRMASS BECOMES SOMEWHAT MOIST BUT MOST PRECIPITATION
WILL BE OVER THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS. AT THE SURFACE A LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPS OVER ALBERTA WHICH RESULTS IN BREEZY SURFACE CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ZONES. BY WEDNESDAY...THE TROF
BROADENS OVER THE AREA AND WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE EAST OF THE
AREA...AND THE UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WILL ALSO BE SLOW TO CLEAR.
HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
HOWEVER AND BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL HAVE MOVED FAR ENOUGH EAST TO
BEGIN TO AFFECT THE LOCAL AREA...THE AIRMASS BEGINS TO DRY AND
CLEARER SKIES WILL RESULT IN COOLER OVERNIGHT TEMPS. ON
THURSDAY...THE RIDGE OVER THE ZONES HAS BECOME QUITE BROAD. NEARLY
ZONAL FLOW ALOFT ALLOWS FOR CONTINUED PRECIPITATION WEST OF THE
CONTINENTAL DIVIDE AND ACROSS THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS IN OUR ZONES.
SURFACE WINDS GET QUITE BREEZY AGAIN THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS
THE SURFACE GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN RESPONSE TO UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES MOVING THRU CANADA. TEMPS CONTINUE TO REMAIN ABOVE
NORMALS THROUGH THE PERIOD. ZELZER

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...MODELS IN A LITTLE BETTER AGREEMENT DURING
THIS PERIOD.  FLAT WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT IS SHOWING SIGNS OF BUCKLING.
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE MOVES EAST OF THE CWA EARLY IN THE PERIOD FOLLOWED
BY A SHORT WAVE TROUGH OF MORE AMPLITUDE.  THIS RESULTS IN PARTLY TO
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH A GOOD CHANCE OF SNOW ALONG THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE AND OVER THE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS.  ELSEWHERE A SLIGHT CHANCE
TO A CHANCE OF SNOW IS EXPECTED AT TIMES...WITH THE EASTERN FRINGES
OF THE CWA REMAINING GENERALLY DRY.  THERE IS NO REAL COLD AIR WITH
THIS SYSTEM...SO EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO BE A LITTLE ABOVE SEASONAL
AVERAGES...MORE SO OVER THE PLAINS.    EK

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1755Z.
MAIN MESSAGE IS IMPROVING CONDITIONS. WIDESPREAD MVFR AND IFR
CONDITIONS WILL BE IMPROVING TO VFR DURING THE AFTERNOON. CLOUDS
SHOULD BECOME SCATTERED LATE IN THE AFTERNOON OR EVENING WITH CLEAR
SKIES EXPECTED NEAR AND AFTER MIDNIGHT. ALSO DOWNSLOPE WINDS WILL
DEVELOP AT KCTB AND KGTF DURING THE MID-AFTERNOON BUT NOT AT KHVR
AND KLWT UNTIL THE EVENING. AFTER SUNRISE TOMORROW EXPECT HIGH
CLOUDS SPREADING EAST OVER THE AREA. ALTHOUGH NOT INDICATED IN THE
TAFS WOULD NOT AT ALL BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME VALLEY FOG IN THE
SOUTHWEST AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. FEEL
DOWNSLOPE WINDS WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH OVER THE PLAINS TO PREVENT FOG
FORMATION THERE. BLANK
