AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
1020 PM MST THU JAN 24 2008

UPDATED AVIATION SECTION ONLY

.UPDATE...
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING UP FROM NEVADA HAS SLOWED DOWN
SLIGHTLY. HAVE ADJUSTED CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION AND CLOUD COVER
OVER THE SOUTHWEST TO REFLECT PROGRESSION OF THE DISTURBANCE.
HIGH CLOUDS SPILLING OVER TOP OF RIDGE AND MOVING IN FROM THE
NORTH. TEMPERATURE FORECAST TRICKY FOR IF CLOUDS DO NOT MOVE OVER
AREA TEMPERATURES ARE TOO WARM. HAVE ADJUSTED A FEW OF THE VALLEY
TEMPERATURES BUT HAVE LEFT CENTRAL AND NORTHERN TEMPERATURES AS IS.

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 0520Z.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA TONIGHT WILL SLOWLY BE PUSHED OUT
OF THE REGION ON FRIDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WORKS IN FROM THE
WEST COAST. FOG WILL LINGER IN THE KHLN VALLEY AT LEAST THROUGH 10Z
FOR LOCALIZED MVFR CONDITIONS DUE TO VISIBILITY. ELSEWHERE EXPECT
PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS UNDER INCREASING MID LEVEL CLOUDS...WITH
ISOLATED SHOWERS OVER SOUTHWEST MONTANA BY MORNING. SKIES WILL BEGIN
TO CLEAR OUT AFTER 21Z FRIDAY. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND
VARIABLE OVERNIGHT...TURNING SOUTHWESTERLY AND GUSTY ACROSS NORTH
CENTRAL MONTANA BY 18Z FRIDAY. THOMSON

&&

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 420 PM MST THU JAN 24 2008)

TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...A WEATHER DISTURBANCE OVER NEVADA
EARLY THURSDAY AFTERNOON WILL MOVE TO NEAR SW MONTANA LATE TONIGHT
THEN SCOOT EAST ON FRIDAY. MOISTURE AND LIFT ARE NOT PARTICULARLY
IMPRESSIVE WITH THIS DISTURBANCE AND INHERITED CHANCE POPS OVER SW
MT SEEM REASONABLE. SOME LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
INTO FAR NORTHERN MONTANA LATE THIS EVENING AND AFTER MIDNIGHT.
WILL MENTION SOME PATCHY FOG FOR THE NE FORECAST ZONES. NORTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT WILL INCREASE OVER THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AND AN UPPER
RIDGE WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA ON SATURDAY. THERE WILL BE SOME
MOISTURE IN THE NORTHWEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WHICH COULD
PRODUCE SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE WESTERN AND FAR SOUTHERN
MOUNTAINS. LOW LEVEL DOWNSLOPE SHOULD HELP KEEP THE PLAINS AND
VALLEYS DRY. SPEAKING OF DOWNSLOPE MID-LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW WILL
INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY LATE FRIDAY AND CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY.
THIS IN COMBINATION WITH FAVORABLE TEMPERATURE AND WIND PROFILES
FAVOR HIGH WINDS FOR THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT AND WILL ISSUE A
HIGH WIND WATCH FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. FORECAST WARMING
TREND LOOKS GOOD AS THE UPPER RIDGE MOVES OVER THE AREA ON
SATURDAY. BLANK

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS
HAVE A SIMILAR HANDLE ON THIS PERIOD. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL
MOVE INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THIS
WILL BRING A MOIST AND UNSETTLED SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT TO SOUTHWEST
AND NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA DURING THIS TIME...FOR A CHANCE OF
MAINLY MOUNTAIN SNOW. HOWEVER...A CANADIAN COLD FRONT WILL
APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE NORTH ON SUNDAY...AND A STRONG
DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THIS
COMBINATION WILL BRING A BETTER CHANCE OF SNOW TO THE ENTIRE AREA.
THE COLD FRONT WILL THEN MOVE SOUTH THROUGH CENTRAL AND EASTERN
MONTANA SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...AS THE PACIFIC TROUGH MOVES EAST
THROUGH THE AREA. HOWEVER...THE GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER WITH THE
STRENGTH OF THE COLD FRONT. THE ECMWF DEPICTS A GLANCING BLOW OF
THE COLDEST AIR OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN MONTANA...WHILE THE GFS
BRINGS MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES INTO THE AREA. WILL GO COLDER WITH
TEMPERATURES DURING THIS TIME...AND INTO MONDAY NIGHT AS
WELL...BUT WILL NOT GO QUITE AS COLD AS THE GFS IS INDICATING.
WILL MONITOR THIS SITUATION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. DURING
THIS TIME...THERE WILL BE A GOOD CHANCE FOR SNOW AGAIN...WITH SNOW
LIKELY FALLING IN THE MOUNTAINS. THIS SITUATION MAY REQUIRE A
WINTER HIGHLIGHT...BUT THE UNCERTAINTIES WARRANT ONLY A MENTION OF
THE POTENTIAL FOR WINTER WEATHER IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.
WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGING MONDAY NIGHT WILL DECREASE THE CHANCE OF
SNOW DURING THAT TIME. HOWEVER...A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE THE AREA TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT FOR ANOTHER CHANCE
OF SNOW. THE COLD FRONT WILL RETREAT NORTH DURING THIS TIME...FOR
SLIGHTLY WARMING TEMPERATURES. COULSTON

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...AN ACTIVE EXTENDED PERIOD IS INDICATED BY
CURRENT MODEL SOLUTIONS. A SERIES OF PACIFIC DISTURBANCES WILL FLOW
THROUGH SPREADING SNOW AROUND MUCH OF THE REGION. THE MOUNTAINS WILL
RECEIVE THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE WITH THE CENTRAL PLAINS LIKELY TO
RECEIVE A COUPLE OF INCHES. A DEEP LOW PRESSURE POSITIONED OVER
CENTRAL CANADA WILL PULL ARCTIC AIR INTO THE NORTH CENTRAL AND
EASTERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY. TIMING AND POSITION OF THESE FEATURES
WILL HAVE TO BE NARROWED DOWN BY FUTURE MODEL RUNS. SAUCIER
