AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
1035 AM MST TUE NOV 11 2008

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.UPDATE...NO GRID CHANGES THIS MORNING...EARLIER DISCUSSIONS AND
CURRENT PRODUCTS ARE ON TRACK.  WILL BE UPGRADING THE CURRENT HIGH
WIND WATCH FOR WED TO A WARNING LATER THIS AFTN...START TIME WILL
REMAIN THE SAME: WED/11 AM (18Z). WARANAUSKAS

.DISCUSSION...
A RATHER ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL RESIDE OVER THE REGION OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS...WITH THE MAIN WEATHER CONCERN BEING THE INCREASING
CHANCES FOR STRONG WINDS.

FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT...A BRISK WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL DEVELOP
OVER THE REGION THIS MORNING...AS CLOUDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER
THE AREA THROUGHOUT THE DAY. A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL
ALSO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THUS EXPECT
INCREASING CHANCES FOR PRECIP OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT...AND
ACROSS SOUTHWEST MONTANA THIS AFTERNOON. THE CHANCES FOR
PRECIP WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING OVER THE PLAINS OF NORTH CENTRAL
MONTANA...BUT ANY PRECIP ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN LIGHT AND ISOLATED.
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO AVERAGE 4 TO 8 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.

FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...EXPECT WINDS TO INCREASE IN
STRENGTH OVER THE REGION THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WIND SPEEDS COULD
EXCEED WARNING CRITERIA OVER MUCH OF NORTH CENTRAL/CENTRAL
MONTANA...THUS THE HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN EXPANDED. BOTH THE
NAM/GFS INDICATE MID LEVEL WINDS OVER 80 MPH...THUS A FEW DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH ARE POSSIBLE AT RIDGE TOPS AND OVER
THE NORTHERN PLAINS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL WITH THE
WARM DOWNSLOPE WINDS. PRECIP CHANCES WILL LIMITED BECAUSE OF THE
DOWNSLOPE...WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN
FRONT.

FOR THURSDAY...A WEAK CANADIAN COOL FRONT WILL START TO MOVE
SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE REGION. EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO COOL OFF QUITE
A BIT...WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED. THE AIRMASS WILL BE
COLD ENOUGH THAT SNOW COULD MIX WITH THE PRECIP AT TIMES AT LOWER
ELEVATIONS...ESPECIALLY BY THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. BRUSDA

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD
AGREEMENT DURING THE PERIOD SO CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST IS A
LITTLE BETTER THAN AVERAGE. EXPECT SOME LINGERING MOISTURE IN A
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THURSDAY NIGHT MAINLY OVER NORTHCENTRAL
MONTANA. HAVE INCREASED POPS IN THAT AREA AND LOWERED THEM
ELSEWHERE. FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY EXPECT CONTINUED NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT BUT MODELS DO NOT HAVE MUCH MOISTURE SO HAVE PRETTY MUCH
DROPPED THE MENTION OF PRECIPITATION. MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT IN
WARMING TEMPERATURES FROM FRIDAY TO SATURDAY WITH TEMPERATURES ON
SATURDAY ABOVE NORMAL. HAVE INCREASED HIGH TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY
ON THE ORDER OF 5 TO 10 DEGREES FROM THOSE IN THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.
IT LOOKS AS IF A CANADIAN COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY WITH AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE. PREVIOUS
GFS RUN WAS ON BOARD WITH THIS IDEA BUT THE VERY LATEST RUN HAS
BACKED OFF ON COOLING AND MOISTURE. FOR NOW HAVE DISCOUNTED THE
LATEST GFS RUN. BLANK

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...MODELS INDICATED A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN MODELS IN TEMPERATURES
AND A DISTURBANCE FLOWING THROUGH THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT HAVE MADE
THIS PERIOD UNCERTAIN. FEEL CONFIDENT IN NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES
DUE TO THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT FOR THE PERIOD. PRECIPITATION IS IN
QUESTION DUE TO MODEL DIFFERENCES. SAUCIER

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1735Z. VRF CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL SITES FOR THE
MAJORITY OF THE NEXT 24 HOURS. CIGS COULD TEMPORARILY LOWER AT
SOME SITES TO NEAR 5000 FT WITH SOME ASSOCIATED SHOWERS.
PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL DEPEND GREATLY ON ELEVATION THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WITH THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS BECOMING MORE SNOW
DOMINATED. SOME MOUNTAIN OBSCURATION WILL OCCUR WITH THE LOCALIZED
SHOWER ACTIVITY. SUK
