AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
304 AM MDT SAT OCT 31 2009

.SHORT TERM...VALID FOR TDY AND SUN...

AN UPPER RIDGE WAS POSITIONED OVER THE GREAT BASIN THIS HOUR.
THIS RIDGE WAS GETTING FLATTENED BY STRONG SHORTWAVE ENERGY
POURING INTO THE BRITISH COLUMBIA COAST. THIS PROCESS WAS CAUSING
SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS OVER SOUTHERN CANADA AND THUS A LEE TROUGH
WAS DEEPENING OVER MONTANA. THE TIGHTENING GRADIENT SHOULD ALLOW
WINDS TO COMFORTABLY SETTLE INTO ADVISORY CRITERIA OVER THE UPPER
YELLOWSTONE AND STILLWATER RIVER VALLEYS TODAY. WINDS WERE NEAR
CRITERIA AT THE MOMENT WITH FURTHER STRENGTHENING EXPECTED
THROUGH THE MORNING. THE CURRENT WIND ADVISORY LOOKS IN REAL GOOD
SHAPE.

700MB WINDS INCREASE TO AROUND 65KTS FROM BIG TIMBER TO JUDITH
GAP BY AFTERNOON. THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL FORCE MORE
OF A SOUTHWEST WIND TODAY AS OPPOSED TO A WEST WIND OF YESTERDAY.
THIS FAVORS THE BIG TIMBER AREA AT THE END OF THE UPPER
YELLOWSTONE VALLEY. WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR NORTHERN
SWEET GRASS COUNTY TO INCLUDE BIG TIMBER. HOW FAR NORTH TO EXTEND
THIS WARNING IS A GOOD QUESTION. THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT
DOES NOT SUPPORT HIGH WINDS IN WHEATLAND COUNTY. BUFKIT SHOWS A
STABLE LAYER AROUND 800MB WHICH WILL HINDER SOME AFTERNOON MIXING
OF THE STRONGEST WINDS AT 700MB. BELIEVE THIS INVERSION IS
PROBABLY OVER DONE BASED ON YESTERDAY. ATMOSPHERE HAS NOT COOLED
AT THE LOW LEVELS MUCH ANYWAY WITH WIND CONTINUING THROUGH THE
NIGHT. AT ANY RATE...HARD TO IGNORE 65KTS AT 700MB. WILL EXTEND
THE WARNING NORTHWARD INTO HARLOWTON. THIS PATTERN WAS NOT
FAVORABLE FOR JUDITH GAP...SO WILL STOP WARNING SHORT OF JUDITH
GAP.

WINDS WILL BE GUSTY FOR THE REST OF SOUTH CENTRAL MONTANA TODAY
WITH SOME GUSTS TO 40MPH ALREADY AT BILLINGS THIS MORNING.
FORECAST NOT HITTING THINGS HARD ENOUGH...SO BUMPED WINDS UP OVER
THE REST OF SOUTH CENTRAL MONTANA. WINDS SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO
YESTERDAY...IF NOT A BIT STRONGER. WINDS WILL NOT TOTALLY LINK
UP...WITH SOME ASCENT THIS AFTERNOON...SO OPTED TO NOT PUSH THE
WARNING ANY FARTHER EAST. SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL STREAM INTO THE
AREA AS HEIGHTS LOWER WITH THE MAIN WAVE SURGING ACROSS SOUTHERN
CANADA. STRONG DOWNSLOPE FLOW SHOULD PREVENT MUCH OF THE
PRECIPITATION FROM FALLING ONTO THE PLAINS. THE MOUNTAINS WILL
RECEIVE THE BULK OF THE POPS TODAY. DID PLACE A SWATH OF LOW POPS
EAST OF BILLINGS AS DOWNSLOPE INFLUENCES NOT THAT PRONOUNCED
THERE AND THE GFS HAS BEEN BRUSHING SOME QG FORCING ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL MONTANA THIS AFTERNOON FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS NOW.

THE LEE TROUGH WILL PULL EAST THIS EVENING...AND THIS SHOULD HELP
THE WINDS DECREASE. A COLD FRONT WILL ENTER THE FORECAST AREA
AFTER MIDNIGHT AND THIS WILL SHUT THE WINDS DOWN OVER THE WEST.
THE COMBINATION OF THE TROUGH MOVING EAST A COLD FRONT SWEEPING
IN WOULD LEND TO AN EARLIER DEPARTURE OF THE STRONG WINDS...SO
WILL TRIM THE ADVISORY BACK TO END AT MIDNIGHT. THIS SUPPORTED BY
ALL GUIDANCE PRODUCTS.

A WEAK TROUGH WILL SLIDE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY. THIS
WILL PROVIDE A PERIOD OF QG FORCING AND FRONTOGENESIS OVER MAINLY
SOUTHERN AREAS. LOW LEVEL WINDS TRY TO TURN NORTHERLY AND SUPPORT
MORE OF AN UPSLOPE DIRECTION TO AID IN ASCENT AT THE LOW LEVELS.
THE GFS WAS QUITE AGGRESSIVE IN PAINTING POPS OVER THE MOUNTAINS
AND ALONG THE NORTH SLOPES OF OUR SOUTHERN AREAS. BUMPED POPS UP
MORE FOR THIS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE MILD TODAY WITH PRE
FRONTAL WARMING AND STRONG DOWNSLOPE FLOW. BUMPED HIGHS UP A
DEGREE OR TWO BASED ON PERFORMANCE OF YESTERDAY. LIMITING FACTOR
MAY BE CLOUDS AGAIN AS THEY SHOULD BE THICKER. COOLER
TEMPERATURES ANTICIPATED SUNDAY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. HUMPHREY

.LONG TERM...VALID FOR MON...TUE...WED...THU...FRI...

SEVERAL CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED PERIOD THIS MORNING...AS HAVE
BEGUN TREND TOWARD COOLER GFS. ALTHOUGH ECMWF HAS BEEN PRETTY
CONSISTENT OVER THE PAST SEVERAL RUNS...COULD NOT SEE
AMPLIFICATION OF STRONG RIDGE OVER THE AREA PANNING OUT. A MORE
LOGICAL AND CLIMATOLOGICAL PROGRESSION WOULD BE SIMILAR TO GFS
WITH MORE ZONAL TYPE FLOW...TO SLIGHTLY NORTHWESTERLY
FLOW...WHERE LOWS MOVE ACROSS SUPPRESSING THE AMPLIFICATION OF
THE RIDGE INTO THE AREA. IN ADDITION TO COOLER TEMPS...AROUND
CLIMO NORMALS...THROUGH THE PERIOD...THE GFS ALSO FAVORS A SERIES
OF SHORTWAVES THROUGH THE REGION THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD.

THE DIFFICULTY WITH THESE WAVES IS THAT MOISTURE IS VERY LIMITED
AND TIMING IS TRICKY SO FAR OUT...SO HAVE POPULATED WITH SUB
CLIMO POPS...WITH BEST CHANCES IN THE HIGH TERRAIN. THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT DISTURBANCE AT THIS POINT APPEARS TO PUSH THROUGH THE
REGION FAIRLY QUICKLY WEDNESDAY. ALTHOUGH MOISTURE DOES NOT LOOK
TOO GREAT AT THIS POINT...THERE IS PLENTY OF ENERGY...SO WENT
WITH AROUND CLIMO RANGE POPS TO START.

COOLER READ STARTS RIGHT AWAY AND PROCEEDS THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIOD. SO GENERALLY LOWERED TEMPS A FEW DEGREES ACROSS THE
BOARD. WE DO STILL WARM SLOWLY THROUGH THE PERIOD AS WEAK RIDGING
DEVELOPS...BUT IS SUPPRESSED BY TROFS MOVING ACROSS CANADA.

THIS PATTERN OF LOWS MOVING THROUGH SOUTHERN CANADA SUPPRESSING
THE RIDGING WILL ALSO LEAD TO MORE WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
REGION. THEREFORE...WINDS HAVE BEEN INCREASED ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD AS WELL. GILSTAD

&&

.AVIATION...

STRONG GUSTY SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE
EASTERN SLOPES OF THE CRAZIES...BEARTOOTHS...AND ABSAROKAS
THROUGH THE DAY TODAY...WITH GUSTS OF 30-40 KTS. GAP FLOW WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO PICK UP EARLY THIS MORNING...IN AND AROUND KLVM
AND NYE..WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 50 KTS. WINDS ACROSS THE THE PLAINS
ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO INCREASE OUT OF THE WEST TODAY...AS A
DISTURBANCE MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. EXPECT WIDESPREAD GUSTS OF
25-35 KTS ACROSS THE WESTERN PLAINS...INCLUDING KBIL...WITH GUSTS
AROUND 50KTS NEAR THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS...SPREADING FROM KLVM TO
K6S0 AND AS FAR NORTH AS K3HT.

OTHERWISE...VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE DAY
TODAY...WITH ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR LIGHT PRECIP IN THE FAR
EAST ZONES AND OVER THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS. GILSTAD
