AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MISSOULA MT
315 PM MDT SAT JUN 20 2009

.DISCUSSION...ABUNDANT PRECIPITATION IN EXCESS OF ONE AND ONE
QUARTER INCHES HAS FALLEN ACROSS SOUTHERN LEMHI COUNTY TODAY. RAIN
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING BEFORE
DIMINISHING BY SUNDAY MORNING. RAPID RIVER RISES HAVE BEEN
EXPERIENCED ON THE LEMHI RIVER NEAR LEMHI IN IDAHO WITH RIVER
LEVELS FORECASTED TO REACH JUST BELOW FLOOD STAGE BY EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING. A FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE LEMHI
RIVER UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE FOR THE POTENTIAL OF MINOR FLOODING OF
ROADWAYS AND LOW-LYING AREAS... PARTICULARLY ALONG HIGHWAY 28.
PLEASE REFERENCE WWW.WEATHER.GOV/MISSOULA FOR FURTHER UPDATES.

THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR LEMHI...DEER LODGE AND SILVER BOW
COUNTIES HAS BEEN CANCELLED. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN IN
THE ONE QUARTER INCH RANGE THROUGH THE DAY AND RAPID RIVER RISES
HAVE NOT OCCURRED.

MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO SURGE NORTHWARD THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
AROUND A LOW PRESSURE CENTER LOCATED OVER THE GREAT BASIN. AS A
RESULT...PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN PERSISTENT OVER THE SAME AREAS OF
SOUTHERN LEMHI COUNTY AND THE BUTTE-BLACKFOOT REGION WITH RAINFALL
DIMINISHING BY SUNDAY MORNING.

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE
TO BE PRESENT OVER THE REGION DURING THE SUNDAY AND MONDAY TIME
FRAME. SEVERAL WAVES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FLOW CIRCLING AN AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL BRING PRECIPITATION AND
TEMPERATURES THAT ARE WELL BELOW THE SEASONAL AVERAGE TO THE
NORTHERN US ROCKIES. LARGE SCALE FEATURES HAVE REMAINED MOSTLY
UNCHANGED DURING THE PAST SEVERAL NUMERICAL MODEL RUNS...HOWEVER
FINER DETAILS SUCH AS PRECIPITATION DISTRIBUTION FORECAST CONTINUE
TO EVOLVE. SOME LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT
RAINFALL...HOWEVER THE PROLONGED AMOUNT OF TIME IN WHICH THE RAIN
FALLS WILL LIKELY KEEP FLOODING IMPACTS LOW FOR MOST OF THE AREA.
THAT SAID...CONVECTION DURING SUNDAY AFTERNOON MAY YIELD A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS CONTAINING HIGH PRECIPITATION RATES.

TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL
LINGER THROUGH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS THE LOW PRESSURE TROUGH
MOVES TO THE EAST AND SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT INITIATES. POSSIBLE
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS AND RIDGES WILL TAKE US THROUGH THE WEEK...BUT
MODEL CONSISTENCY IS WEAK...SO WILL KEEP ON AND OFF CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SATURDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO SURGE NORTHWARD AROUND A LOW
PRESSURE LOCATED OVER THE GREAT BASIN. PERSISTENT SHOWERS OVER
EAST CENTRAL IDAHO AND SOUTHWEST MONTANA WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
EVENING AND DIMINISH BY SUNDAY MORNING. TERMINALS KSMN AND KBTM
WILL EXPERIENCE REDUCTIONS IN VISIBILITIES AND LOWERED CEILINGS
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. EXPECT MOUNTAINS AND PASSES TO BE
OBSCURED THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. CONVECTIVE SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
OVER NORTH CENTRAL IDAHO AND NORTHWEST MONTANA. MOUNTAINS WILL BE
OBSCURED AT TIMES IN THIS AREA.
