239 PM MST WED NOV 9 2011
.SHORT TERM...VALID FOR THU AND FRI...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES WILL BRING US
WINDY...DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS THROUGH FRIDAY. WIND IS THE
BIGGEST CONCERN.
PRESSURES BEGINNING TO FALL IN NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA THIS
AFTERNOON. LEE SIDE TROF WILL DEEPEN TONIGHT...ALLOWING FOR GAP
FLOW TO KICK IN ALONG THE BEARTOOTH ABSAROKAS. CONDITIONS WILL
REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR STRONG DOWNSLOPE WINDS THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT...SO A LONG DURATION GAP WIND EVENT IS IN STORE.
STABILITY AND STRENGTH OF GRADIENT SUGGEST A SOLID ADVISORY EVENT.
MID LEVEL FLOW OUT OF THE WNW AND ON THE ORDER OF 40 KTS ARE NOT
QUITE IDEAL FOR WARNING LEVEL SPEEDS AND FEEL INGREDIENTS ARE MORE
SUGGESTIVE OF A MID TO HIGH END ADVISORY. IN ADDITION TO THIS...A
WEAK SHORTWAVE AND RESULTING PRESSURE RISE MAX THURSDAY NIGHT
SHOULD MODIFY DIRECTIONS A BIT TOO WESTERLY AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE
WHILE. FOR THESE REASONS WILL GO WITH THE ADVISORY AND MENTION
GUSTS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MPH AT THE USUAL SPOTS...LIVINGSTON AND
NYE. LEE SIDE TROF WILL REMAIN STRONG INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...AND IN
FACT MOUNTAIN TOP WINDS OVER THE BEARTOOTHS PEAK FRIDAY NIGHT...SO
WILL HIGHLIGHT THESE AREAS THROUGH SATURDAY 18Z. ONSET OF COLD
ADVECTION WILL END THE GAP FLOW SOMETIME EARLY SATURDAY.
OTHER AREAS OF CONCERN INCLUDE HARLOWTON AND BIG TIMBER ESPECIALLY
GIVEN THE WNW FLOW ALOFT. WILL KEEP WITH GUSTS OF 45 TO 55 MPH IN
THESE AREAS FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT...AND
AFOREMENTIONED WEAK PRESSURE RISE THURSDAY NIGHT WILL HELP SPEEDS
IN THIS CASE. WILL NEED TO KEEP WATCH OF THIS. GRADIENTS BECOME
MORE SUPPORTIVE OF PURE GAP FLOW FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT SO FEEL
BIG TIMBER AND HARLOWTON SPEEDS SHOULD DIMINISH SOME THESE
PERIODS.
COULD ALSO SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF ENHANCED SW WINDS NEAR RED LODGE
FRIDAY NIGHT PER THE BACKED AND INCREASED MOUNTAIN TOP FLOW JUST
PRIOR TO SATURDAY MORNINGS FRONTAL PASSAGE. WILL INTRODUCE SOME
GUSTS IN THIS AREA AS WELL.
EXPECT GUSTS OF 30-40 MPH IN THE BILLINGS AREA THE NEXT COUPLE
DAYS.
OTHERWISE TEMPS WILL TURN QUITE A BIT WARMER TOMORROW AND FRIDAY
WITH HIGHS INTO THE 50S. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL ALSO BE MILDER GIVEN
THE WIND AND HAVE RAISED LOWS ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NEAR THE
FOOTHILLS. GUIDANCE APPEARS MUCH TOO COOL FOR THIS REGIME.
NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE LATE FRIDAY NIGHT OVER OUR
WESTERN MOUNTAINS AS FORCING FROM NEXT PACIFIC SHORTWAVE MOVES
INTO CENTRAL MONTANA.

.LONG TERM...VALID FOR SAT...SUN...MON...TUE...WED...
EXTENDED PERIOD BEGINS SATURDAY IN SOMEWHAT OF A TRANSITION ZONE
BETWEEN A FLATTENING RIDGE AND AN INCOMING MID LEVEL TROUGH.
MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE STRENGTH AND
POSITIONING OF THE TROUGH...WITH AN ASSOCIATED CUT OFF LOW OFF THE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST. THE 300 MB WINDS WILL BECOME MOSTLY
NORTHWESTERLY BY SUNDAY MORNING...HELPING TO PUSH THE LONG WAVE
TROUGH EASTWARD.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL BE THE MOST UNSETTLED DAYS OF THE
EXTENDED PERIOD. OVERALL PATTERN IS VERY FAVORABLE FOR
PRECIPITATION OVER THE BEARTOOTH AND ABSAROKA RANGES.
THEREFORE...BUMPED UP POPS AND SNOW AMOUNTS TO REFLECT THIS.
MAX DAILY TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY BECOME COLDER AS AN AIR MASS
MAKES ITS WAY DOWN FROM CANADA INTO CENTRAL AND EASTERN MONTANA BY
TUESDAY.
A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES WILL PROGRESS THROUGH THE REGION QUICKLY
MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. HOWEVER...IN LOOKING AT THE MODEL
SPECTRUM TOOL...DECIDED TO KEEP POPS A LITTLE ABOVE CLIMO THROUGH
THOSE PERIODS AS MODEL SPREAD AND CONFIDENCE SEEMED TO BE PRETTY
GOOD. MJS
&&
.AVIATION...
SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN STRENGTH
TONIGHT ALONG THE BEARTOOTH FOOTHILLS AND NEAR KLVM. GUSTS MAY BE
IN EXCESS OF 60 KNOTS. OTHERWISE...EXPECTING VFR CONDITIONS
THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE PERIOD. MJS
