AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
1200 PM MST TUE DEC 30 2008

.UPDATE...NO GRID CHANGES MADE FOR THE MORNING UPDATE AS MOTHER
NATURE GIVES US A SHORT BREAK TODAY FROM THE ACTIVE WEATHER
PATTERN WE HAVE SEEN. STILL LOOKING FOR NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM TO
ARRIVE TOMORROW...MAINLY IN THE AFTN/EVE THOUGH LEADING EDGE WILL
REACH THE ROCKY MTN FRONT AROUND SUNRISE SO WILL LIKELY BE
UPGRADING THE CURRENT WINTER STORM WATCH TO A WARNING FOR
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 5000 FT WITH THIS AFTERNOONS FORECAST PACKAGE.
WARANAUSKAS

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1900Z
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON WITH WINDS
BECOMING LIGHTER.  CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO DECREASE WITH VFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH THE PERIOD. SOME
MOISTURE IS CROSSING OVER THE DIVIDE SO LEFT VCSH FOR KHLN THROUGH
THIS EVENING. A WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS THROUGH THE
REGION ON WEDNESDAY SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOPING AT KBZN BY 0800Z
WEDNESDAY AND ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA BEYOND CURRENT TAF
PERIOD ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MLS

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 349 AM MST TUE DEC 30 2008/
TODAY THROUGH NEW YEARS DAY...THE WEATHER SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT
YESTERDAYS SNOW HAS MOVED EAST OF THE AREA. PLAN TO LET THE WINTER
WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS EXPIRE AT 5 AM. DO EXPECT TO SEE AT LEAST A FEW
LINGERING AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW OVER NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA INTO THIS
MORNING. EXPECT GUSTY WEST WINDS OVER THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS TO
DIMINISH THIS AFTERNOON. IN THE MEANTIME WILL MENTION AREAS OF
BLOWING SNOW FOR THAT AREA. TONIGHT AN UPPER RIDGE WILL DEVELOP
OVER THE FORECAST AREA FOR MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE PLAINS
AND VALLEYS. EXPECT TO SEE A THREAT OF SNOW OVER THE SOUTHWEST
MOUNTAINS WITH AN INCREASING CHANCE OF SNOW OVER THE WESTERN
MOUNTAINS AS MOISTURE INCREASES AFTER MIDNIGHT. ON WEDNESDAY A
FAST-MOVING WEATHER SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN MONTANA. AN
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA MAINLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON. STRONG DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL LIMIT CHANCES OF
PRECIPITATION OVER THE PLAINS BUT INCREASED MOISTURE ALONG WITH
LIFT FROM THE FRONT WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASING CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION OVER SOUTHWEST MONTANA. THE COMBINATION OF STRONG
WINDS OVER THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVY SNOW IN THAT AREA HAS PROMPTED THE ISSUANCE OF A WINTER
STORM WATCH FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WILL CONFINE THE
WATCH TO ELEVATIONS ABOVE 5000 FEET AS STRONG DOWNSLOPE AND
TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING SHOULD LIMIT CHANCES OF SNOW FOR THE
PLAINS AND VALLEYS. ON NEW YEARS DAY EXPECT NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
DO NOT SEE ANY SIGNIFICANT WEATHER SYSTEMS BUT THERE WILL BE
SUFFICIENT MOISTURE FOR A THREAT OF SNOW OVER THE MOUNTAINS. ALSO
ON THURSDAY A CANADIAN COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTH OVER
THE PLAINS AND WILL BRING COOLER TEMPERATURES. BLANK

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE
IN GENERAL GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A SMALL RIDGE OVER THE AREA THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THIS PATTERN WILL BRING SOME RELIEF TO THE WINDS
OF RECENT...AND MILD TEMPERATURES. THIS IS AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM
WHICH SHOULD SPREAD PRECIPITATION TO THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS. WITH THE
STRONG WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH IT...COULD SEE SOME WIND HIGHLIGHTS BY
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY ACROSS THE AREA. THE ASSOCIATED UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH MOVES INLAND AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER BC SPREAD
PRECIP OVER THE CWA...SO WILL GO A LITTLE ABOVE CLIMO POPS FOR MOST
OF THE PLAINS AND ABOVE CLIMO POPS FOR THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS. THE
MODEL AGREEMENT CONTINUES INTO SATURDAY...WITH SOME DIVERGENCE
STARTING SATURDAY NIGHT. EVEN SO WITH GENERAL NORTHWEST FLOW...HAVE
TYPICAL HIGHER POPS OVER THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS...BUT BELOW NORMAL
TEMPS FOR SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. THOUGH THE ECMWF IS A BIT SLOWER AND
DEEPER WITH THE DISTURBANCE OVER SOUTHERN MANITOBA ON SUNDAY...A
NORTHWEST FLOW SHOULD CONTINUE OVER THE AREA AS A SPLIT IN THE UPPER
FLOW DEVELOPS OVER THE WESTERN US. AFTER A PERIOD OF RELATIVE
DRYNESS...EXPECT THE NEXT SYSTEM TO START AFFECTING THE AREA BY
SUNDAY NIGHT. THUS HAVE LOWER POPS OVER THE PLAINS AND
HIGHER...ABOVE CLIMO...POPS OVER THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS SUNDAY NIGHT.
ALSO LOOKS LIKE THE WINDS RETURN WITH WARMER TEMPS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY. DB

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...A WESTERLY FLOW OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL
BECOME MORE NORTH WESTERLY AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS
THE CANADIAN PROVINCES. PACIFIC MOISTURE AND COLD AIR WILL BE PULLED
INTO THE NORTH CENTRAL PLAINS AS THE SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE REGION
WHICH MAY REQUIRE WINTER WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS AS THE SYSTEM DEVELOPS.
