AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MISSOULA MT
844 AM MST WED JAN 30 2008

.DISCUSSION...A COLD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS
NORTHCENTRAL IDAHO AND WESTERN MONTANA TODAY. ALTHOUGH SHOWERS
HAVE BEEN FEW AND FAR BETWEEN THE PAST 6 HOURS...ADDITIONAL
DEVELOPMENT IS LIKELY TODAY AS DAY TIME HEATING COMBINES WITH THE
UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. FORECASTS GENERALLY ON TRACK.

&&

.AVIATION...A COLD AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE
REGION TODAY SUPPORTING SCATTERED CONVECTION. THE CONVECTION
SHOULD BE VIGOROUS ENOUGH TO SUPPORT VERY LOW CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES WITH THE CORE OF SHOWERS. ALTHOUGH VFR CONDITIONS
WILL OCCUR IN MANY AREAS TODAY...IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT
CONDITIONS MAY CHANGE RAPIDLY AS SCATTERED CONVECTION MOVES ACROSS
THE AREA.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 400 AM MST WED JAN 30 2008/

DISCUSSION...WEATHER PATTERN IS PROGRESSING PRETTY MUCH AS HAS
BEEN FORECASTED FOR PAST SEVERAL DAYS. NORTHERN ROCKIES WILL
REMAIN UNDER A MOIST UNSTABLE AIR MASS TODAY DUE TO THE PASSING
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE COMMON TODAY WITH LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS LIKELY IN THE MOUNTAINS. ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH WILL
BEGIN TO IMPACT THE NORTHERN ROCKIES LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
PLENTIFUL MOISTURE AND LIFT AHEAD OF THE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO
PRODUCE MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH THURSDAY
EVENING. THE FOCUS WILL AGAIN BE OVER NORTHERN IDAHO...NORTHWEST
MONTANA...AND THE MOUNTAINS OF WEST CENTRAL MONTANA. THE MISSOULA
AND BITTERROOT VALLEYS...AS WELL AS MUCH OF THE UPPER CLARK FORK
VALLEY WILL BE TERRAIN SHADOWED THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENT. THE
EXCEPTION TO THIS WILL BE A SHORT BURST OF SNOW THURSDAY EVENING
AS A COLD FRONT AHEAD OF THE MAIN TROUGH PASSES THE REGION.

THIS SYSTEM WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A STRONG WESTERLY
JET...AND THE RESULTING WINDS IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS COULD MAKE
TRAVEL ESPECIALLY HAZARDOUS OVER THE PASSES. WHILE THE WINDS ALOFT
ARE WESTERLY...THE WINDS IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS WILL BE PUSHED
FROM THE SOUTH DUE TO A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT AS THE COLD
FRONT APPROACHES. THIS WILL BE AN ESPECIALLY GOOD SETUP FOR
STRONG WINDS ON THE CAMAS PRAIRIE AND SOUTH TO NORTH CANYONS OF
WESTERN IDAHO COUNTY THURSDAY. HOWEVER...VALLEYS ELSEWHERE WITH
THIS ORIENTATION WILL ALSO BE BREEZY AT TIMES AHEAD OF THE FRONT
THURSDAY.

FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...THE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE DURING THIS PERIOD AS A SERIES OF PACIFIC DISTURBANCES
MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHERN ROCKIES REGION WITH THE FIRST MOVING
THROUGH LATE IN THE WEEKEND. THIS PATTERN SHOULD CONTINUE ADDING TO
THE MOUNTAIN SNOW PACK. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY COOL THIS
WEEKEND AS THE JET STREAM DIGS FATHER SOUTH...THUS CARVING OUT
COOLER UPPER TROUGHS OF LOW PRESSURE.

AVIATION...SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE COMMON TODAY IN AN UNSTABLE AND
MOIST AIR MASS. MORE WIDESPREAD SNOW WITH LOW CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES WILL DEVELOP FROM THE WEST AFTER MIDNIGHT AND
PERSIST THROUGH THURSDAY.
