AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
406 AM MST MON FEB 7 2011

.DISCUSSION...

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE ACTIVE WINTER WEATHER WILL CONTINUE
FOR MUCH OF THE DAY TODAY WITH WINTER WEATHER HIGHLITES CURRENTLY
ISSUED FOR ALL LOCATIONS IN THE AREA. WILL CONTINUE WITH CURRENT
HIGHLITE PACKAGE AND SOME ADDITIONS FOR WIND CHILL HIGHLITES
DISCUSSED IN MORE DETAIL LATER. CURRENT MODEL FORECASTS KEEP SNOW
AMOUNTS SIMILAR AS THE PRECIPITATION APPEARS TO BE DIRECTLY
IMPACTING CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA THE MOST. SNOW TOTAL
AMOUNTS HAVE NOT CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY.

THE MAJOR CHANGE WITH THE RECENT FORECAST WAS
ACTUALLY MONDAY NIGHT WHEN SKIES CLEAR OUT AND FRESH SNOWFALL SHOULD
WORK AS A STRONG INSULATOR ALLOWING FOR RADIATIVE COOLING TO
SIGNIFICANTLY DROP TEMPERATURES ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT
AND TUESDAY MORNING. GFS AND MEX MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE THE MOST
AGGRESSIVE WITH BRINGING IN THE COLD TEMPERATURES ESPECIALLY OVER
THE HAVRE AREA IN THE MILK RIVER BASIN. SOME LOCATIONS WILL SEE
TEMPERATURES IN THE NEGATIVE 20S AND 30S. TEMPERATURES IN THE HIGH
PLAINS ADJACENT TO THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT...ESPECIALLY IN CENTRAL
MONTANA WILL BE SLIGHTLY WARMER WITH LOWS BOTTOMING OUT IN THE
NEGATIVE TEENS AND 20S.

BECAUSE OF THESE TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY
WINDS A WIND CHILL ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE PLAINS OF
CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA...WITH A WIND CHILL WARNING FOR
HILL AND BLAINE COUNTY FROM NOON TODAY THROUGH NOON TUESDAY.

DUE TO THE SHALLOW AND EPHEMERAL NATURE OF THE COLD AIR
TEMPERATURES WILL NOT PLUNGE TOO FAR IN THE MOUNTAIN VALLEYS OF
CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST MONTANA. THE COLD AIR WILL BEGIN TO RETREAT
TUESDAY AND A SLOW BUT GRADUAL CLIMB BACK TOWARDS SEASONAL
AVERAGES WILL BEGIN AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE COMES INTO THE
AREA AND BEGINS DOMINATE THE WEATHER PICTURE TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY. SUK

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...A GENERALLY QUIET AND RATHER DRY
WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED. MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT ON THIS
IDEA. EXPECT THE PERIOD TO START OFF WITH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. A
WEATHER DISTURBANCE ALOFT IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA LATER
IN THE WEEKEND. MODELS DIFFER ON TIMING AND SOMEWHAT IN STRENGTH
WITH THIS FEATURE. IT APPEARS THIS WILL BRING THE BEST THREAT FOR
PRECIPITATION FOR THE AREA. INHERITED FORECAST HAD INCREASED CHANCES
OF PRECIPITATION DURING THIS TIME FRAME SO DID NOT MAKE ANY MAJOR
CHANGES TO THE CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION. SHOULD MENTION THAT
CONTINUED DOWNSLOPE SHOULD KEEP THE PLAINS MOSTLY DRY WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THE WEATHER DISTURBANCE. MODELS ARE INDICATING THE
POSSIBILITY OF UPPER RIDGING EARLY NEXT WEEK. MAIN CHANGE TO THE
FORECAST WAS TO RAISE HIGH TEMPERATURES PRIOR TO THE PASSAGE OF THE
WEATHER DISTURBANCE. SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT WILL NEED TO KEEP AN
EYE ON WINDS FOR LATER THIS WEEK AS MODELS INDICATE THE POTENTIAL
FOR STRONG WINDS AT LEAST OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT. BLANK

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 0600Z.
MOIST AND UNSTABLE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE AS AN ARCTIC COLD
FRONT DESCENDS ACROSS THE AREA FROM NORTH TO SOUTH LATE THIS EVENING
AND TONIGHT. SNOW IS DEVELOPING ALONG AND EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE AS OF 05Z AND SNOW WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD FURTHER SOUTH
AND EAST AFTER 06Z AS THE FRONT APPROACHES. WITH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE...WINDS MAY BRIEFLY GUST TO 25KTS AND THEN SHIFT
NORTH-NORTHEASTERLY AND REMAIN LIGHT. AS SNOW INCREASES IN INTENSITY
AFTER 06Z...EXPECT RAPIDLY DETERIORATING CONDITIONS WITH IFR AND
LIFR CONDITIONS DUE TO LOW VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS. SNOW WILL
CONTINUE MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES THROUGH MIDDAY MONDAY AND THEN
GRADUALLY TAPER FROM THE NORTHWEST LATER IN THE AFTERNOON. MOUNTAINS
WILL REMAIN OBSCURED THROUGH THE PERIOD.  MLS
