AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
1045 AM MST SUN MAR 2 2008

.UPDATE...
UPDATE TO DECREASE MORNING CLOUD COVER OVER MOST OF THE AREA AND
TO DECREASE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION MAINLY OVER THE SOUTHWEST FOR
TODAY. NORTHWEST FLOW TO CONTINUE OVER AREA WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS
OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL MONTANA LATE THIS MORNING AND ALL AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1745Z.
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THROUGH PERIOD WITH COLDER AIR AND MOISTURE
MOVING SOUTHWARD OUT OF CANADA. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE
NEXT 24 HOURS AT TERMINALS. HOWEVER EXPECT SNOW SHOWERS...LOWERED
VISIBILITIES AND LOWER CEILINGS NEAR MOUNTAINS UNTIL AROUND 06Z.
WINDS WILL BE MAINLY WESTERLY...EXCEPT FOR NORTHWEST WINDS KCTB...
KHVR...AND KLWT UNTIL AROUND 00Z. AFTER 00Z WINDS WILL BACK TO
SOUTHWEST OR WEST. UPPER RIDGE OVER PACIFIC NW WILL BUILD DURING
PERIOD AND BY 18Z MONDAY HIGHER PRESSURE WEST OF DIVIDE WILL RESULT
IN VERY STRONG WINDS ALONG FRONT RANGE AREA...PARTICULARLY WEST OF
KCTB.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 437 AM MST SUN MAR 2 2008/

TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...THE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL KEEP AT LEAST
ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST MONTANA THIS MORNING. A WEAK SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL
ALSO MOVE SOUTH OUT OF ALBERTA AND SASKATCHEWAN THIS
MORNING AND BRING ISOLATED FLURRIES TO THE EASTERN PLAINS AREAS
OF THE TFX CWA. A DISTURBANCE IN THE FLOW WILL ALSO BRING
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS TO THE MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND
ISOLATED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS TO THE PLAINS AND VALLEYS.
TEMPERATURES WILL COOL TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS. AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT...CAUSING THE SHOWERS TO
DIMINISH. BREEZY WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE WINDS WILL ALSO DEVELOP
OVERNIGHT...WHICH WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES NEAR TO ABOVE SEASONAL
AVERAGES. WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE WINDS WILL INCREASE FURTHER ON MONDAY
FOR CONTINUED WARMING TEMPERATURE. WINDS ALOFT WILL REACH 70
KNOTS AND A STRONG INVERSION WILL DEVELOP AT RIDGE TOP LEVEL ALONG
THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT...THEREFORE WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH
FOR THAT AREA FROM LATE MONDAY MORNING THROUGH EARLY MONDAY
EVENING. SNOW WILL ALSO DEVELOP OVER THE MOUNTAINS...CAUSING AREAS
OF BLOWING SNOW. WINDS WILL DECREASE MONDAY NIGHT AS THE INITIAL
DISTURBANCE OF THE NEXT PACIFIC WEATHER SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH THE
AREA. THE MOIST NORTHWEST FLOW IN THE WAKE OF THIS DISTURBANCE
WILL LIKELY BRING SNOW TO THE MOUNTAIN AREAS OF NORTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST MONTANA. LINGERING WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE WINDS WILL LIMIT
PRECIPITATION OVER THE PLAINS. THE MOIST NORTHWEST FLOW WILL
CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY...AND A CANADIAN COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH
THROUGH THE AREA. SNOW WILL AGAIN BE LIKELY OVER THE
MOUNTAINS...BUT IT WILL ALSO BE LIKELY ALONG THE NORTH FACING
SLOPES OF CENTRAL MONTANA DUE TO THE ENHANCED UPSLOPE CONDITIONS.
MEASURABLE SNOW IS LIKELY...BUT AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE
SIGNIFICANT AT THIS POINT. THEREFORE...WILL HOLD OFF ON A WINTER
STORM WATCH FOR NOW...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION.
COULSTON

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT... GFS AND ECMWF SHOWING
SIMILAR TRENDS... THOUGH ECMWF TENDING TO HAVE SLIGHTLY FASTER
PROGRESSION OF FEATURES. HAVE TENDED FORECAST TOWARD GFS
SOLUTION. ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH INCOMING PACIFIC SYSTEM
CONTINUES TO DIG TO THE SOUTHEAST OF MONTANA AS AN UPPER LEVEL
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE SHARPENS ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST. RESULT IS A
NORTHERLY FLOW INTO CWA WHICH WILL AGAIN PUSH TEMPERATURES BELOW
SEASONAL AVERAGES. MODELS STILL FORECASTING ENOUGH MOISTURE THAT
WHEN COUPLED WITH PRESENT DYNAMICS AND UPSLOPE FLOW... SHOULD SEE
SOME PRECIPITATION ALONG NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS TUESDAY
NIGHT...TAPERING OFF THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE SLOWLY PUSHES INLAND SHOVING THE COLD AIR AND MOISTURE
EASTWARD FOR WARMER TEMPERATURES AND LITTLE CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. ANOTHER SMALL WEATHER SYSTEM
WILL RIDE OVER THE RIDGE FRIDAY. BOTH THE RIDGE AND THE WEATHER
SYSTEM WILL WEAKEN AS A RESULT. SYSTEM MAY HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY
LEFT AS IS PASSES OVER MONTANA TO CREATE SOME SHOWERS... THOUGH
CURRENTLY EXPECT THESE TO BE MAINLY OVER THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS.

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...MODEL DIFFERENCES DETRACT SOMEWHAT FROM
FORECAST CONFIDENCE DURING THIS PERIOD. I WENT WITH A COMPROMISE
SOLUTION OF A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THIS RESULTS IN A NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
OVER THE REGION. A FEW WEAK DISTURBANCES IN THIS FAIRLY MOIST
FLOW SHOULD RESULT IN UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES AND ISOLATED RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS FOR MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA. THERE IS A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS
OVER MOST MOUNTAINS. DOWNSLOPE WINDS WILL HELP KEEP TEMPERATURES
NEAR...TO A LITTLE ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES. EK
