AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GLASGOW MT
220 AM MST SAT JAN 6 2007

.SHORT TERM...FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY...
AN ACTIVE SHORT TERM PERIOD SETTING UP ACROSS THE CWA.  THE BIGGEST
CONCERN WILL BE IN THE NEAR TERM WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WIND
ACROSS A PORTION OF THE AREA TODAY INTO TONIGHT.  ANOTHER SYSTEM
QUICKLY FOLLOWS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF
STRONG WIND AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SNOW.

TODAY...A STRONG UPPER TROUGH IS SEEN ON SATELLITE PUSHING THROUGH
SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS SYSTEM WILL
QUICKLY PUSH ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES LATER THIS MORNING WITH
THE TROUGH AXIS SWINGING INTO EASTERN MONTANA BY LATE IN THE DAY.
AS THE UPPER TROUGH PUSHES EAST IT WILL INDUCE LEE SIDE
CYCLOGENESIS IN THE LEE OF THE ALBERTA ROCKIES...WITH THE LOW
PUSHING EAST/SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN THIS
AFTERNOON. AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...THE AREA WILL BE IN A WARM AIR
ADVECTION PATTERN FOR A TIME THIS MORNING WHICH COULD TOUCH OFF A
FEW AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW.  AS THE LOW PUSHES EAST A COLD FRONT WILL
SWEEP ACROSS THE CWA FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON. ENOUGH
LIFT...MOISTURE & INSTABILITY FOR SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS...BUT
AMOUNTS LOOK LIGHT WITH MOST AREAS HAVING LITTLE ACCUMULATION.
PERHAPS A COUPLE OF ISOLATED SPOTS MAY PICK UP AN INCH OF SNOW AT
MOST.

THE BIGGER CONCERN OF THE DAY WILL BE THE HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
OVERALL NOT REAL IMPRESSED WITH GETTING WIDESPREAD HIGH WIND WARNING
CRITERIA SPEEDS.  LAPSE RATES STEEPEN TO 7C/KM BY THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS OUR WESTERN ZONES IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT WITH MODERATE
COLD AIR ADVECTION.  GFS/NAM/UKMET 850MB WIND PROGGED IN THE 40-50KT
RANGE...AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM A LITTLE STRONGER FOR A HIGH WIND
WARNING.  SUSPECT THAT ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE LITTLE
ROCKIES AND DOWNSLOPE AREAS IN CENTRAL PHILLIPS AND PETROLEUM
COUNTIES WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF REACHING CRITERIA.  ALSO
POSSIBLE THAT WARNING CRITERIA COULD BE REACHED ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN IN SOUTHWEST AND NORTHERN VALLEY AND ACROSS WESTERN GARFIELD
COUNTY.  ANY CONVECTIVE SHOWERS COULD ALSO MIX SOME STRONGER WIND
DOWN IN GUSTS...BUT THIS WOULD BE LOCALIZED AND LIKELY NOT
WIDESPREAD.  WILL UPGRADE JUST OUR WESTERN ZONES TO A HIGH WIND
WARNING AND KEEP THE WATCH ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA.

TONIGHT...HIGH WIND EVENTS AROUND HERE REALLY NEED TO GET GOING
DURING THE DAY...SO CONTINUE TO HAVE DOUBTS IN THE EAST ABOUT
GETTING WARNING CRITERIA WIND.  BEST CHANCE WOULD LIKELY COME DURING
THE EVENING IF THE WIND CAN GET GOING LATE IN THE DAY...AND
ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE ENOUGH CONVECTIVE SNOW SHOWERS AROUND.  WILL
KEEP THE WATCH GOING IN THE EAST TO GIVE THE DAY SHIFT TIME TO SEE
HOW THINGS UNFOLD DURING THE DAY.

SUNDAY...THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE ACTION SUNDAY AS THE FIRST
SYSTEM MOVES OFF TO THE UPPER MIDWEST AND A NEW SYSTEM CRASHES
ASHORE INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA.  LIGHTER WIND AND MAINLY DRY WEATHER
CAN BE EXPECTED.  SHOULD SEE SOME INCREASE IN CLOUDS DURING THE DAY
AS THE PATTERN QUICKLY TRANSITIONS FROM ONE OF COLD AIR ADVECTION
TO ONE OF WARM AIR ADVECTION.  A LITTLE SNOW MAY TRY TO BREAK OUT
LATER IN THE DAY ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST ZONES.  TEMPERATURES SUNDAY
WILL BE A LITTLE COLDER THAN TODAY...BUT STILL ABOVE AVERAGE FOR
EARLY JANUARY.

SUN NIGHT & MONDAY...THE NEXT SYSTEM QUICKLY MOVES IN SUNDAY NIGHT
WITH A PERIOD OF OVERRUNNING SNOW LIKELY TO SPREAD FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA.  CERTAINLY THE POTENTIAL OF AN INCH OR
TWO OF SNOW SUNDAY NIGHT. LATER SHIFTS MAY WISH TO CONSIDER
BUMPING UP THE POPS TO LIKELY ACROSS AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE CWA.
AS THE SURFACE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM DIVES SOUTHEAST
INTO THE DAKOTAS MONDAY THERE WILL BE A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT
BETWEEN THE LOW AND A SURFACE RIDGE OFF TO OUR WEST. PRESSURE
RISES AND LAPSE RATES LOOK MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN FOR THE SYSTEM
TODAY INTO TONIGHT. 850MB WIND PROGGED TO BE QUITE A BIT STRONGER
TOO. MAY VERY WELL NEED ANOTHER HIGH WIND WATCH FOR MONDAY...BUT
WILL HOLD OFF FOR NOW AS IT IS 5TH PERIOD AND WE ALREADY HAVE WIND
HEADLINES TO DEAL WITH IN THE NEAR TERM. BUMPED UP THE WIND
SPEEDS QUITE A BIT TO 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 50 MPH TO
GET THE BALL ROLLING WITH SOME STRONGER WIND. CB

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
MODELS REMAIN IN AGREEMENT WITH ADVERTISING AN ARCTIC OUTBREAK FOR
THE SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK.

A SHORTWAVE UPPER RIDGE WILL BRING ONE MORE DAY OF ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES TUESDAY BEFORE STRONG COLD DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE
REGION ON WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAYS HIGH WILL BE DEPENDENT ON WHAT
TIME OF DAY THE FRONT GOES THROUGH. WHILE THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE
WILL BE NORTH OF THE SURFACE LOW TRACK IN SASKATCHEWAN...THESE
FRONT ARE USUALLY GOOD AT SQUEEZING OUT WHAT MOISTURE IS THERE.
WILL MAINTAIN A CHANCE OF SNOW FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

THE UPPER TROUGH THAT IS CURRENTLY OVER ALASKA AND THE BERING
STRAIT WILL DIVE SOUTHEAST REACHING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON
WEDNESDAY. THIS TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO SPLIT AS IT SETTLES INTO
MONTANA ON THURSDAY AND REMAINS THERE FOR A FEW DAYS.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO NORTHEAST MONTANA FOR THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY WHICH SHOULD BRING DRY AND VERY COLD WEATHER TO THE AREA.
THE FIRST BELOW ZERO TEMPERATURES IN OVER A MONTH SHOULD OCCUR
WEDNESDAY NIGHT OR THURSDAY NIGHT.

THE MODELS GENERALLY START MODERATING TEMPERATURES BY FRIDAY
NIGHT. WILL GO SLOW WITH THE WARMING FOR NOW AS THERE IS SOME
DISAGREEMENT IN HOW FAST TEMPERATURES MODERATE. FORRESTER

.AVIATION...
MID LEVEL CLOUDS WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA BEFORE SUNRISE THIS
MORNING. SHOULD SEE CEILINGS LOWER TO LOW VFR HEIGHTS OF 4000 TO
5000 FT AGL BY AFTERNOON. WEST WINDS 20 TO 35 KNOTS WILL AFFECT
THE TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL BECOME NORTHWEST THIS EVENING.
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON WILL REDUCE CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES TO MVFR LEVELS AT TIMES. SNOW SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH
THIS EVENING WITH VFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT. GFF
