AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
343 AM MDT TUE AUG 7 2007

.DISCUSSION...

TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY...UPPER TROUGH OVER THE PACIFIC NW WILL
WEAKEN AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA LATER TODAY INTO
TONIGHT. A WEATHER DISTURBANCE ALOFT AHEAD OF IT WILL LIKELY CAUSE
A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ROUGHLY NEAR AND SOUTH OF A LINE
FROM HELENA TO GREAT FALLS TO HAVRE EARLY TODAY. COULD SEE A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH BUT THESE
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD END BY DARK. BEHIND THE UPPER TROUGH EXPECT A
RELATIVELY DRY SOUTHWEST TO WEST FLOW ALOFT AND HAVE REMOVED THE
MENTION OF PRECIPITATION FOR WEDNESDAY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE
NORTHERN ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT. FEEL THURSDAY WILL BE DRY ALSO BUT
THERE IS JUST ENOUGH OF A THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS NOT TO DROP
THEIR MENTION FROM THE FORECAST. WITH THE INCREASED FLOW ALOFT
EXPECT GUSTY WEST WINDS TODAY AND WEDNESDAY. A COOL FRONT WILL
MOVE SOUTH OVER THE PLAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BRING SLIGHTLY
COOLER TEMPERATURES IN THE NORTH FOR THURSDAY. THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO BE DRY AND NOT HAVE ANY STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS. BLANK

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...THE UNSETTLED AND MOIST
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN OVER NORTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST
MONTANA THROUGH THIS PERIOD. DISTURBANCES IN THE FLOW ALOFT WILL
BRING AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER
THE CENTRAL CONUS WILL ALSO BUILD THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD...FOR
STEADILY WARMING ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE
DRIVEN BY A SERIES OF FRONTAL BOUNDARIES MOVING THROUGH AREA. WINDS
WILL BE EASTERLY AHEAD OF EACH BOUNDARY...SHIFTING TO THE WEST AFTER
THE ITS PASSAGE.  COULSTON

MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...MODELS CONTINUE WITH THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
OVER  THE WESTERN U.S. FOR ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGE TEMPERATURES AND
MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS...EXCEPT FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER
THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA. WILLIAMSON DC

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 0445Z.
A MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES TO RESIDE OVER THE
REGION...ALLOWING FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS TO CONTINUE TO FALL OVER
SOUTHWEST MONTANA. THESE SHOWERS WILL COME TO AN END AROUND
07Z...AND MAINLY BE CONFINED TO THE MOUNTAINS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN.
BREEZY CONDITIONS WITH LATE AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
AGAIN ON TUESDAY...WITH MOST THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING AFTER 21Z AND
ENDING BY 02Z WEDNESDAY. AREAS OF SMOKE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A
PROBLEM. MOST AREAS WILL HAVE VISIBILITIES RANGING FROM 5 TO 10
MILES...OBSCURING MOST MOUNTAIN RANGES. EXPECT LOCATIONS IN/NEAR
LARGER FIRES TO HAVE VISIBILITIES LESS THAN 2 MILES AT TIMES THROUGH
THE PERIOD. BRUSDA

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
LEARNED MY LESSON WITH REGARD TO MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AS
THEY WERE LOWER THAN FORECAST ON MONDAY. HAVE LOWERED AFTERNOON
DEWPOINTS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA FROM 5 TO 10 DEGREES FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS WHICH PUTS MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES IN THE 10 TO
20 PCT RANGE. GUSTY WINDS WERE NEVER IN DOUBT SO WE END UP WITH
RED FLAG CONDITIONS IN THE WEST TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS IS NO
MARGINAL EVENT. FOR THE EASTERN TWO FIRE WEATHER ZONES EXPECT
WINDS TO BE LIGHTER THAN IN THE WEST TODAY BUT WOULD NOT BE
TOTALLY SURPRISED IF THEY GET NEAR OR SLIGHTLY EXCEED 15 MPH. WILL
HOLD OFF ON A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THERE FOR TODAY BUT WILL NEED
TO REEVALUATE ON THE DAY SHIFT. RED FLAG CONDITIONS LOOK QUITE
CERTAIN FOR THESE EASTERN TWO FIRE WEATHER ZONES FOR WEDNESDAY.
WILL GO WITH A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR NOW BUT EXPECT THIS TO BE
UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING LATER TODAY OR EARLY WEDNESDAY.
