Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 10:05 AM MDT, 14 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
1005 AM MDT THU JUN 9 2011

.DISCUSSION...
NO UPDATES THIS MORNING. A WET AND UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL CONTINUE
AS THE UPPER LOW SPINS ACROPSS SOUTHEAST IDAHO. CIRCULATION AROUND
THIS FEATURE CONTINUES TO BRING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE IN THE
FORM OF RAIN TO MUCH OF NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA. CURRENT FORECAST
STILL ON TRACK. EMANUEL

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1200Z.
SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER CENTRAL ID EARLY THIS MORNING WILL
TRACK EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF MT TODAY AND INTO THE DAKOTAS
TONIGHT. WIDESPREAD IFR AND MTN OBSCURATIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
MOST OF THIS MORNING WITH SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT THIS AFTERNOON. SYSTEM
PULLS AWAY TONIGHT WITH PRECIP ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST THIS
EVENING. HOENISCH

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 323 AM MDT THU JUN 9 2011

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER SOUTHWEST IDAHO
THIS MORNING WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MONTANA AND WYOMING BORDER DURING
THE DAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN UNSEASONABLY COOL AND WET WEATHER
THROUGH THE DAY. THERE IS AN AREA OF MAINLY LIGHT RAIN ACROSS THE
ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT WITH ANOTHER AREA OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN
ACROSS SOUTHWEST MONTANA. DILLON GOT 0.75 OF AN INCH OR RAIN AND
BUTTE GOT NEARLY AN INCH OF RAIN SINCE 00Z. THE SECOND AREA OF
PRECIPITATING WILL MOVE INTO NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA THIS MORNING.
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE
REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST AS A  SURFACE LOW MOVES ACROSS CANADA
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY FOR LIGHT DOWNSLOPE FLOW ACROSS CENTRAL MONTANA.
THUS...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM SOME 10 DEGREES BY FRIDAY WITH MOSTLY
DRY CONDITIONS UNTIL MIDDAY FRIDAY. ANOTHER PACIFIC SYSTEM WILL MOVE
INTO THE REGION BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON...BRINGING A MOIST AND UNSTABLE
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH
SATURDAY. WILLIAMSON DC

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND MT WILL
CONTINUE TO BE INFLUENCED BY A LONGWAVE TROUGH POSITIONED ALONG OR
JUST INLAND OF THE WEST COAST OF NORTH AMERICA. THIS PATTERN WILL
WILL KEEP THE POLAR JET STREAM FOCUSED FURTHER SOUTH THAN IT WOULD
NORMALLY BE THIS TIME OF YEAR...SENDING SEVERAL FAST MOVING
DISTURBANCES ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.
THE FAST MOVEMENT OF THESE SYSTEMS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO
PINPOINT TIMING OF INDIVIDUAL FEATURES...BUT THE OVERALL PATTERN
WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND/OR ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON HRS. THE GOOD
NEWS IS THAT THE QUICK PACE OF THESE DISTURBANCES IN AN UNSETTLED
BUT LESS MOIST WESTERLY FLOW WILL HELP TO KEEP PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS
MUCH LESS WIDESPREAD AND RELATIVELY LIGHT COMPARED TO RECENT PRECIP
EVENTS. TEMPERATURES WILL TREND FROM SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE TO NEAR
AVERAGE BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. HOENISCH

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
PERIODS OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY AND SNOWMELT IN THE
MOUNTAINS WILL ALSO CONTINUE...ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
COOL AND SNOW LEVELS WILL BE A LITTLE LOWER TODAY. THE FORECAST AREA
WILL CONTINUE TO SEE RISES ON AREA CREEKS AND RIVERS THROUGH THE NEXT
24 TO 48 HRS. MANY SMALLER CREEKS AND STREAMS HAVE ALREADY SEEN
SIGNIFICANT RISES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN PORTIONS
OF NORTH CENTRAL MT...AND RISES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ON LARGER
RIVERS AS WELL...INCLUDING THE MISSOURI AND MILK AND ITS TRIBUTARIES.
