AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
518 AM MST MON MAR 3 2008

.DISCUSSION...

TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...A MOIST PACIFIC WEATHER SYSTEM WILL
DOMINATE MOST OF THIS PERIOD. WEST WINDS ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO
INCREASE TODAY AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...CAUSING OCCASIONAL GUSTS IN
EXCESS OF 60 MPH ALONG THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT. SNOW WILL ALSO
DEVELOP IN THE MOUNTAINS OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT THROUGHOUT
THE DAY...CAUSING AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW THERE. WILL THEREFORE
CONTINUE THE WINTER STORM WARNING FOR ELEVATIONS ABOVE 5500 FEET
ON THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT. ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL DECREASE SOMEWHAT
OVERNIGHT...WILL EXTEND IT THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING TO INCLUDE THE
ENTIRE PERIOD OF SNOWFALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM. CLOUDS WILL
INCREASE OVER THE PLAINS TODAY...BUT THE INCREASING WESTERLY
DOWNSLOPE WINDS WILL LIMIT ANY PRECIPITATION THERE. PRECIPITATION
WILL INCREASE OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT AND SPREAD INTO
SOUTHWEST MONTANA DURING THE EVENING AS THE MAIN ENERGY FROM THE
SYSTEM PASSES THROUGH THE AREA. HOWEVER...THE CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN LOWER OVER THE PLAINS OF NORTH CENTRAL
MONTANA AS THE DOWNSLOPE WINDS WILL PERSIST. A CANADIAN COLD
FRONT WILL THEN MOVE SOUTH THROUGH NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA LATER
TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING...AND THE RESULTING BREEZY NORTHERLY
UPSLOPE WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH THE MOIST NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT TO
BRING WIDESPREAD SNOW TO THE PLAINS WITH CONTINUED HEAVY SNOW AT
TIMES IN THE MOUNTAINS. WILL ISSUE A SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW
ADVISORY FOR TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING FOR ELEVATIONS BELOW
5500 FEET FOR MOST OF THE NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA PLAINS AND FOR THE
VALLEYS OF CENTRAL MONTANA. WILL ALSO ISSUE A WINTER STORM WARNING
FOR THE SAME TIMES FOR ELEVATIONS ABOVE 5500 FEET IN THESE SAME
AREAS...AS RIDGE TOP WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BLOW. THE SYSTEM WILL
EXIT THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT...LEAVING THE AREA UNDER A LESS
UNSETTLED NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT ON WEDNESDAY. WINDS AND SNOW WILL
DECREASE DURING THIS TIME...WITH MAINLY A CHANCE OF SNOW OVER THE
MOUNTAINS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMER THAN NORMAL TODAY AND
TONIGHT AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL COOL TO BELOW
NORMAL FOR TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. COULSTON

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...PERIOD BEGINS IN AN
AMPLIFIED PATTERN WITH A SHARP RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN CONUS AND A
DEEP TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN CONUS WITH GRADUAL DEAMPLIFICATION
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS WEAKENING PACIFIC ENERGY BREAKS DOWN THE
WESTERN RIDGE. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE GRADUALLY PROGRESSES EAST
ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...FOR A
GENERALLY DRY NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT. LEE-SIDE TROUGH WILL BE ALONG
THE EAST SLOPES EARLY IN THE PERIOD BEFORE DRIFTING EASTWARD BY
LATE THURSDAY. WITH NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT AND A MORE WESTERN
POSITION OF THE LEE-TROUGH CANNOT RULE OUT SOME LINGERING SNOW
SHOWERS OVER THE THE CENTRAL MT MTNS AND EASTERN ZONES THROUGH
THE DAY ON THURSDAY. OTHERWISE...EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS WITH
TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES. LATE FRIDAY INTO
THE WEEKEND...MODELS BRING WEAKENING PACIFIC ENERGY ONSHORE TO
BREAK DOWN THE RIDGE WITH A ZONAL/PROGRESSIVE WESTERLY FLOW
AGREED UPON BY MODELS BY SATURDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...TIMING AND
INTENSITY OF FEATURES AS THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN IN THE FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY PERIOD ARE NOT WELL HANDLED BY
MODELS...LEADING TO LOW CONFIDENCE IN ANY PARTICULAR SOLUTION.
WITH THE GENERAL IDEA OF THE RIDGE BREAKING DOWN DUE TO ENERGY IN
WESTERLY FLOW HOWEVER HAVE WENT WITH INCREASED POPS OVER THE MTNS
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE AS WELL TO THE
EAST OVER THE PLAINS. TEMPERATURES WILL COOL SLIGHTLY BY SATURDAY
BUT REMAIN NEAR SEASONAL AVERAGES. HOENISCH

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY...MODELS ARE IN BASIC AGREEMENT DURING THIS
PERIOD...WITH JUST MINOR DIFFERENCES IN TIMING AND AMPLITUDE OF
FEATURES. I EXPECT A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...WITH A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES RIDING OVER
THE RIDGE AND FLATTENING IT AT TIMES. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN
UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND
ISOLATED RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. THERE
