AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
433 AM MST FRI JAN 5 2007

.SHORT TERM...VALID FOR TDY AND SAT...

RATHER ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN SETTING UP FOR THE AREA THE NEXT 48
HOURS. MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS PACKAGE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
STRONG AND DAMAGING SYNOPTIC SCALE WINDS. WATCHES CURRENTLY IN
PLACE FOR THE WEST AND WILL ADDRESS THOSE SHORTLY.

FOR TODAY...ZONAL FLOW TRANSITIONS TO THE NORTHWEST THIS
AFTERNOON. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE STATE WILL BE
THE MECHANISM TO CHANGE THE FLOW. NOT A GREAT DEAL OF MOISTURE
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TROUGH AS PRECIPITABLE WATER AMOUNTS WERE
AROUND A TENTH OF AN INCH AT GREAT FALLS. THERE WAS A BATCH OF
MOISTURE BETWEEN GREAT FALLS AND SALT LAKE CITY THAT WAS MOVING
OUT AHEAD OF THE TROUGH. WENT WITH HIGH POPS FOR THE MOUNTAINS.
DOWNSLOPE FLOW SHOULD PREVENT MUCH OF THIS FROM CROSSING INTO THE
PLAINS. DID INCLUDE LOW POPS FOR THE REST OF THE AREA AS THE
TROUGH WORKS ACROSS. THE ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO WINDS.

TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...FLOW BACKS AS THE TROUGH OF TODAY SHIFTS
INTO THE DAKOTAS AND UPSTREAM ENERGY FLIES INTO SOUTHERN BRITISH
COLUMBIA. THIS STRONG ENERGY UPSTREAM POURS INTO NORTHERN
WASHINGTON LATE TONIGHT CAUSING A LEE TROUGH TO FORM AND
DEEPENING QUICKLY THIS EVENING. LOW LEVELS STABILIZE SOME AND THE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS UP SIGNIFICANTLY TO PRODUCE HIGH WINDS OVER THE
UPPER YELLOWSTONE AND UPPER STILLWATER VALLEYS. STRONGEST WINDS
SHOULD BE LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. AS THE SHORTWAVE
ENERGY DROPS SOUTHEAST INTO WESTERN MONTANA...THIS WILL
DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE. STRONG ENOUGH WINDS IN THE LOW TO MID
LEVELS...AND ATMOSPHERE UNSTABLE ENOUGH...THAT THE WIND EVENT
WILL TRANSITION TO A STRONG MIX DOWN SCENARIO. WILL UPGRADE THE
WATCH TO A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THESE LOCATIONS. THE AREAS
FATHER TO THE EAST...WHERE CURRENT WATCH IS IN PLACE FOR PARTS OF
SOUTH CENTRAL MONTANA DO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY STRONG WINDS
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. A STRONG ENOUGH WAVE WILL CREATE SUBSIDENCE
TO DRIVE WINDS DOWN IN AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. WINDS NOT LINKED
UP TILL THE AFTERNOON...BUT THE MODELS WERE ADVERTISING 50KTS AT
850MB SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM COULD BE A
SECONDARY VORT MAX BEHIND THE INITIAL ONE FLOWING IN RIGHT BEHIND
IT AND CREATING LIFT. FEEL THE WATCH IN GOOD SHAPE AND WILL LET
RIDE. THE EAST COULD ALSO GET STRONG WINDS LATE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. SHORTWAVE WAS GETTING IN THERE LATER AND SO
TOO THE SUBSIDENCE. BUMPED WINDS UP OVER THE EAST. HELD OFF ON A
WATCH AT THIS TIME PER COORDINATION AND THE DESIRE FOR ANOTHER
MODEL RUN TO FINE TUNE THE WIND POTENTIAL. PRECIPITATION CHANCES
SHOULD BE LIMITED WITH A QUICK MOVING SYSTEM AND STRONG DOWNSLOPE.

SATURDAY NIGHT...SYSTEM KICKS EAST WITH A STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW
LINGERING BEHIND IT. ATMOSPHERE REMAINS UNSTABLE WITH STRONG COLD
AIR ADVECTION. LOW TO MID LEVEL WINDS DECREASE THOUGH. WOULD
EXPECT WINDS TO STAY STRONG...BUT DECREASE SOME AS THE NIGHT
WEARS ON. THE STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD BE OVER THE EAST WHERE 850MB
WINDS OF 45KTS HANG ON MOST OF THE NIGHT. CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION
WILL TAPER OFF...WITH SCATTERED POPS CONFINED TO THE EAST.
HUMPHREY

.LONG TERM...VALID FOR SUN...MON...TUE...WED...THU...

SEVERAL CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST TODAY AS MODELS
REMAIN CONSISTENT AND IN AGREEMENT WITH EACH OTHER.

UNSTABLE NORTHWEST FLOW ON SUNDAY MONDAY WILL BRING SEVERAL UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE REGION. DID RAISE POPS A LITTLE
BIT ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY AS THE GFS BRINGS A GOOD SHOT OF
QPF AND VORTICITY THROUGH THE AREA. HAVE KEPT POPS THE SAME ON
MONDAY NIGHT. MODELS BRING A SHORTWAVE RIDGE THROUGH THE REGION
ON TUESDAY. HAVE KEPT THE POPS IN THE FORECAST BUT THEY MAY NOT
BE NEEDED AS THE MODELS CONTINUE TO BRING THIS RIDGE ACROSS. A
STRONG ARCTIC FRONT STILL LOOKS GOOD DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY
AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DIGS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
REGION. DID INCREASE POPS ON WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE
ARCTIC AIR SHOULD BRING ATLEAST SOME LIGHT SNOW TO THE REGION.
HAVE CONTINUED THE POPS INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS THE UPPER
LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SLIDES ACROSS THE AREA.

TEMPERATURES STILL LOOK TO BE IN THE 30S TO LOWER 40S FROM SUNDAY
TO TUESDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY STILL LOOK VERY TRICKY
DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT. DID NOT MAKE ANY
CHANGES TO THIS PERIOD AND KEPT HIGHS IN THE 20S. LOWERED
TEMPERATURES AROUND 5 TO 10 DEGREES ON THURSDAY AS THE ARCTIC AIR
SETS UP ACROSS THE AREA. HAVE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS ABOVE ZERO ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH LOW TEMPERATURES IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS TO TEENS BELOW ZERO.

SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE A WINDY DAY ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE STRONGEST
WINDS ACROSS THE WESTERN ZONES AS A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT SETS
UP OVER THE AREA. WINDS DO NOT LOOK AS STRONG AS SATURDAYS EVENT
HOWEVER. ANOTHER WINDY DAY LOOKS POSSIBLE FOR MONDAY AS ANOTHER
STRONG GRADIENT SETS UP OVER THE REGION. SOLUM

.AVIATION...

ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA TODAY BRINGING
ISOLATED MVFR CONDITIONS. SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE MORE WIDESPREAD
OVER THE MOUNTAINS WHERE MOUNTAIN OBSCURATIONS WILL OCCUR.
OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE AREA. SOLUM
