AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
241 PM MST THU JAN 4 2007

.DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...THE MAIN INTEREST FOR THIS PERIOD IS
AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE WEATHER SYSTEM THAT WILL BRING HIGH
WINDS ACROSS THE ZONES AND HEAVY SNOW TO THE ROCKIES LATE FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. THE UPPER LEVEL WINDS BEGIN TO INCREASE LATE FRIDAY AS A
JET NOSES INTO WESTERN MONTANA. STRONG UPPER LEVEL WINDS PLUS A GOOD
INVERSION AND WARM ADVECTION OVER THE ROCKIES WILL PRODUCE VERY HIGH
GUSTS...GUSTS TO NEAR 100 MPH OVER THE ROCKIES ARE POSSIBLE. THESE
STRONG WINDS WILL SPREAD EAST SATURDAY. GOOD MIXING SHOULD DEVELOP
OVER THE PLAINS AND MID-LEVEL WINDS WILL HELP PRODUCE STRONG GUSTS
ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA.  A WIND WARNING FOR THE ROCKIES AS
WELL AS A WATCH FOR NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA WILL BE ISSUED. THE STRONG
WINDS MOVING ACROSS THE ROCKIES WILL ALSO BE VERY MOIST AND COLD.
THIS WILL HEAVY SNOW OVER THE ROCKIES...ALONG WITH CONSIDERABLE
BLOWING SNOW.  A WINTER STORM WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR LATE FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY. ZELZER

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...A DIRTY WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT WILL BE OVER THE AREA THROUGH MONDAY. WILL SEE A COUPLE SHORT
WAVES MOVES THROUGH THE NORTHERN ROCKIES IN THIS FLOW. THIS WILL
RESULT IN A GOOD CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW FOR THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN
FRONT AND A CHANCE OF SNOW ELSEWHERE. ALONG WITH THE SNOW...THESE
DISTURBANCES WILL BRING STRONG WINDS TO NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA.
SATURDAY IS APPEARING TO BE THE WINDIEST DAY SO FAR. WILL LIKELY
NEED A HIGH WIND WATCH ISSUED IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS FOR ALL OF NORTH
CENTRAL MONTANA FOR PARTS OF FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES
DURING THIS PERIOD WILL BE NEAR NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL.

FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY MODELS ARE SHOWING THAT THE JET STREAM
WILL SINK SOUTH OF THE AREA AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES INTO
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FROM ALASKA. THIS WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SNOW
AND ALLOW ARCTIC AIR TO MOVE INTO THE AREA. SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND
COLD MAY ACCOMPANY THIS SYSTEM. HAVE TREND TEMPERATURES DOWN AND
POPS UP IN THE EXTENDED. IF MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THIS ARCTIC
OUTBREAK FOR THE MIDDLE AND LATER PART OF NEXT WEEK WILL HIT THE
FORECAST MUCH HARDER TOMORROW. MEIER

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1711Z.
MOIST WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
ALONG AND WEST OF THE DIVIDE...WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS WILL SLOWLY
DECREASE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND COME TO AN END BY 00Z.
ELSEWHERE...SCATTERED TO BROKEN MID LEVEL CLOUDS WILL PERSIST
THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL EXCEPT NEAR
THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL BE LIGHT TO
