AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
326 AM MST TUE JAN 4 2011

.SHORT TERM...VALID FOR TDY AND WED...

HIGH WINDS ARE THE MAJOR CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM FORECAST.
ISSUED AN ADVISORY FOR THE BEARTOOTH FOOTHILLS AND THE LIVINGSTON
AREA FOR TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING. RAISED WINDS
WEDNESDAY MORNING TO FALL WITHIN ADVISORY CRITERIA AND RAISED THEM
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING TO THE HIGH END OF ADVISORY
CRITERIA. WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY NEEDS TO BE WATCHED
CLOSELY FOR A POSSIBLE UPGRADE TO A WARNING...BUT THE FORECAST
GRADIENT CURRENTLY DOES NOT SUPPORT ISSUING A WARNING. MADE NO
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO TEMPERATURES AND POPS SINCE CURRENT
FORECAST COVERS THEM WELL.

CURRENTLY THE AREA IS IN NORTHWEST FLOW WITH SEVERAL SHORTWAVES
PROPAGATING THROUGH. MAIN RISK FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE OVER THE
BEARTOOTH AND ABSAROKA MOUNTAINS WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE
EASTERN ZONES ON WEDNESDAY. PREDOMINATE DOWNSLOPE FLOW IS DRYING
THINGS OUT TOO MUCH TO GET MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION ELSEWHERE. EVEN
IN AREAS WITH POPS...SNOW ACCUMULATION IS UNDER AN INCH...EXCEPT
IN THE MOUNTAINS WHERE IT IS UNDER 2 INCHES.

FOR THE WIND FORECAST...MODELS AGREE WELL ON A TIGHT GRADIENT
GETTING TIGHTER ACROSS FAR WESTERN ZONES THROUGH THURSDAY. IN
GENERAL...THE GRADIENT WILL SLOWLY TIGHTEN THROUGHOUT THE SHORT
TERM FORECAST...BUT THERE WILL BE PERIODS WITH WEAKER WINDS DUE TO
SURFACE REFLECTIONS OF SHORTWAVES. THE WINDIEST PERIODS WILL BE
WEDNESDAY MORNING AND THURSDAY MORNING (WHICH FALLS IN THE
EXTENDED FORECAST). FOR WEDNESDAY MORNING...WINDS OVER 40 MPH WITH
GUSTS TO 65 MPH ARE FORECAST. CURRENTLY THE ALIGNMENT OF THE
GRADIENT IS NOT FAVORABLE FOR A WIND WARNING OR WINDS OVER 75 MPH...BUT
THE GRADIENT MAGNITUDE CERTAINLY IS. FOR THE HARLOWTOWN AREA AND
WHEATLAND COUNTY...THE CURRENT FORECAST IS SUB-WARNING. HOWEVER
THURSDAY MORNING MODELS INDICATE OVER 35 KNOTS OF MEAN WIND IN THE
LOWEST KILOMETER OF THE ATMOSPHERE WITH AN INVERSION WELL BELOW
THE PEAKS OF THE CRAZY MOUNTAINS...SO SOME GAP FLOW WINDS ARE
POSSIBLE IN THAT AREA AS WELL. LEACH

.LONG TERM...VALID FOR THU...FRI...SAT...SUN...MON...

WIND WILL BE THE INITIAL CONCERN IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD PER
ANTICYCLONIC WNW FLOW ALOFT AND STRONG LEE SIDE SFC TROFFING.
COMBINATION OF ENHANCED MID LEVEL FLOW WITH A 20MB IDA-LWT
GRADIENT AS SHOWN BY MODELS NOW...WHICH IS PROBABLY A BIT
UNDERDONE...COULD YIELD VERY STRONG GAP FLOW IF THE GRADIENT IS
ORIENTED CORRECTLY. WIND ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THU AND
HAVE PAINTED 70 MPH GUSTS AT LVM AND NYE IN THE MORNING...AFTER
WHICH WEAK PRESSURE RISES WILL WEAKEN THE GAP FLOW POTENTIAL.
OTHER AREA OF CONCERN IS FROM BIG TIMBER TO HARLOWTON AS MODELS
SHOW 50+ KTS WITHIN STABLE LAYER OVER THE CRAZY MOUNTAINS. HAVE
GIVEN THESE AREAS 50 MPH GUSTS AND WILL NEED TO KEEP WATCH OF
THIS. WINDS IN THE GAP AREAS MAY CONTINUE THU NIGHT INTO FRI AS
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE INDUCES ANOTHER PERIOD OF LEE SIDE PRESSURE
FALLS. HAVE INCREASED WINDS ALONG THE FOOTHILLS FOR THESE PERIODS
AS WELL. WINDS WILL FINALLY DECREASE SATURDAY AS DEEP PACIFIC TROF
MOVES INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. THIS WILL BRING ABOUT A WHOLE
DIFFERENT SET OF ISSUES.

MODELS HAVE TRENDED AWAY FROM BRINGING A WEAK FRONT INTO SOUTHEAST
MONTANA THU NIGHT OR FRI...THOUGH ADMITTEDLY IT IS STILL POSSIBLE
WITH THE NW FLOW ALOFT AND STRONG CYCLONIC FLOW JUST TO OUR EAST
IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS. LATEST ECMWF/UKMET IN FACT BRING A VERY
WEAK BACKDOOR INTO OUR EAST ON FRI. IN LINE WITH THIS WARMER/DRIER
MODEL TREND HAVE LOWERED WESTERN LOWER ELEVATION POPS THU NITE...
AND HAVE WARMED TEMPS FROM THU NITE THROUGH FRI NITE ESPECIALLY IN
OUR WEST AND CENTRAL PARTS...AGAIN CONSIDERING THE WIND ISSUES
THAT MAY LINGER. WILL KEEP NEAR CLIMO POPS FRI...WITH THE BETTER
CHANCE OF PCPN EMERGING BY FRI NITE OR SAT. LOOK FOR ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPS THU AND FRI...WITH RELATIVELY MILD NIGHTS.

DEEP PACIFIC TROF MOVES INTO THE AREA THIS WEEKEND...AND ALTHOUGH
DETAILS ARE STILL UNCERTAIN THIS WILL LEAD TO A GOOD CHANCE OF
SNOW AND A TRANSITION TO MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES AS WE BEGIN TO
TAP INTO A SIGNIFICANT AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN NORTHWEST
CANADA. SNOWFALL POTENTIAL WILL DEPEND LARGELY ON WHETHER OR NOT
SFC FRONT SLIDES INTO OUR AREA BY FRI...AND THEN THE RESULTING
TRACK OF SFC LOW ON SAT. MUST STRESS PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY HERE.
HAVE RAISED POPS ANOTHER NOTCH SAT AND SUN PER PLENTY OF UPPER
LEVEL DYNAMICS AND THE COLD FRONT. PCPN COULD LINGER LONGEST IN
OUR EAST AS GFS/EC ARE EACH HINTING AT A TROWAL.

ARCTIC AIR WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION BEGINNING SUN...WITH 850MB
TEMPS TO NEAR -20C AND PRESSURES NEAR 1040MB SUN NITE AND MON...
PER VERY GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT. THUS IT APPEARS WE ARE IN STORE FOR
NOTHING WARMER THAN SINGLE DIGIT HIGHS BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS
COULD BE OUR COLDEST AIRMASS YET THIS WINTER.

WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT WINDS AND THE UPCOMING ARCTIC IN OUR
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

JKL

.AVIATION...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL TODAY AND TONIGHT...WITH SCATTERED TO
BROKEN MID AND HIGH CLOUD AND A FEW MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS. MAIN
AVIATION CONCERN IS WIND ALONG THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE BEARTOOTH
ABSAROKA AND CRAZY MOUNTAINS. EXPECT GUSTS OF 30-40 KTS TODAY FROM
K3HT TO KLVM. WINDS WILL INCREASE AT KLVM TONIGHT WITH GUSTS AS
HIGH AS 50 KTS POSSIBLE. GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE IN THESE AREAS
FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. JKL
