AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MISSOULA MT
239 PM MDT THU MAY 12 2011

.DISCUSSION...A WEAK FRONT HAS STALLED OUT ACROSS SOUTHEAST
WASHINGTON UP INTO NORTHWEST MONTANA. THIS FRONT WILL BE THE
FOCUS POINT FOR PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. SO NORTHWEST MONTANA SHOULD CONTINUE TO SEE WIDESPREAD
LIGHT SHOWERS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. THE FRONT IS ASSOCIATED
WITH A WEAK DISTURBANCE THAT WILL BE MOVING NORTHWARD LATER
TONIGHT. THE REST OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES HAVE BECOME UNSTABLE
ENOUGH FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS. THE POTENTIAL STILL EXISTS
THAT AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM COULD DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY ALONG
THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK
OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES ON FRIDAY AS THE LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW
WOBBLES BACK TO THE WEST. EVEN THOUGH A RIDGE IS BUILDING BACK
OVER THE AREA...MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO LINGER ACROSS THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL ONCE AGAIN BECOME UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM. THE
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BECOME EASTERLY AS THE THERMAL
TROUGH MOVES OFF TO THE WEST. SO THE MAJORITY OF THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES WILL SEE EASTERLY WINDS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES
ARE STILL EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE SEASONAL WHICH WILL BE CAUSE
RIVER AND STREAM ISSUES.

SATURDAY...A STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL ONCE AGAIN USHER IN WARM
TEMPERATURES TO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. A LARGE UPPER LOW OFF THE
WEST COAST WILL USHER IN A MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW INTO CENTRAL
IDAHO AND PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE MOIST
AIR WILL REMAIN IN IDAHO AS A DRY EASTERLY PUSH OF AIR WILL CROSS
THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE INTO WESTERN MONTANA. EXPECT AN INCREASE
IN EAST WINDS. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL SATURDAY WITH
MANY AREAS IN THE MID AND EVEN UPPER 70S.

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING... ANOTHER WAVE OF ENERGY FROM THE
UPPER LOW WILL SWING THROUGH CENTRAL IDAHO AND INTO NORTHWEST AND
WEST CENTRAL MONTANA. THIS IS A MUCH MORE MOIST SHORT WAVE. MORE
WIDESPREAD RAIN WILL OCCUR WITH THE HEAVIEST RAIN AMOUNTS EXPECTED
IN NORTH CENTRAL IDAHO AND NORTHWEST MONTANA INCLUDING LINCOLN
MINERAL AND SANDERS COUNTIES.

MONDAY THROUGH MID WEEK...AN UNSETTLED COOLER AND WET WEATHER
PATTERN IS EXPECTED AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES OVER WESTERN
MONTANA AND NORTH CENTRAL IDAHO. TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO NEAR
NORMAL OR EVEN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL PRODUCE A FEW ISOLATED
SHOWERS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. ALL AIRFIELDS WILL SEE CB
BUILD UPS THROUGH 13/0100 WITH KBTM HAVING THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL
FOR SEEING A THUNDERSTORM BETWEEN 12/2100Z AND 13/0300Z.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...THE THREAT STILL EXISTS FOR INCREASES IN SMALL STREAM
AND MAIN STEM RIVER FLOWS THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. CONFIDENCE IS
HIGH IN A PROLONGED PERIOD OF ABOVE NORMAL DAYTIME TEMPERATURES
COMBINED WITH ABOVE-FREEZING OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES THROUGH THIS
WEEKEND...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE ENHANCED SNOW MELT.

THE AREAS OF HEIGHTENED CONCERN AS WE ENTER THE WEEKEND CONTINUE
TO BE THE KOOTENAI RIVER BASIN AND THE FLATHEAD RIVER BASIN.
SPECIFICALLY THE YAAK RIVER IS EXPECTED TO BECOME PROBLEMATIC BY
FRIDAY MORNING. CURRENT RIVER FORECASTS HAVE THE YAAK RIVER MEETING
FLOOD STAGE BY FRIDAY MORNING. A FLOOD WARNING FOR THIS RIVER HAS BEEN
ISSUED. IN ADDITION...THE FISHER RIVER AND THE THOMPSON RIVER ARE
FORECASTED TO POTENTIALLY REACH FLOOD STAGE BY NEXT WEEK.

WHILE CONCERNS EXIST FOR THESE SPECIFIC LOCATIONS...WATERS ACROSS
THE ENTIRE NORTHERN ROCKIES WILL BE RUNNING HIGH AND FAST DURING
THIS PERIOD. THOSE WITH RECREATION INTERESTS DURING THIS WEEKENDS
PLEASANT WEATHER SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION IF PLANNING ON BEING NEAR
AREA RIVERS. PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE FORECAST AS FURTHER
HYDROLOGIC HEADLINES MAY BE ISSUED.
