AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
311 PM MST TUE JAN 24 2012

.SHORT TERM...VALID FOR WED AND THU...

HIGH WIND EVENT COMING LATER TONIGHT AND TOMORROW...STILL SOME
DETAILS TO BE WORKED OUT THOUGH.

FIRST THE GAP AREAS. PRESSURE FALLS ALREADY ON THE ORDER OF
1-2MB/HR IN CENTRAL MONTANA IS TIGHTENING UP THE LEE SIDE GRADIENT
THIS AFTERNOON. AS ZONAL FLOW ALOFT INCREASES THE LEE SIDE TROF
WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN THROUGH TONIGHT...AND COLD TEMPS AND SNOW
COVER ACROSS NORTHWEST WY AND SOUTHEAST ID WILL ENHANCE THE LOW
LEVEL STABILITY. THIS WILL BE A STRONG GAP WIND EVENT FOR
LIVINGSTON AND NYE AND WILL MAKE NO CHANGES TO THE WARNING FOR
THESE AREAS. SHOULD SEE GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 70 MPH.

SWEET GRASS AND WHEATLAND COUNTIES WILL BE FAVORED ONCE THE COLD
ADVECTION KICKS IN WITH SFC TROF JUST TO THEIR EAST BY TOMORROW
MORNING. STRONG WEST WINDS SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY AS LOW
DEEPENS TO OUR NORTHEAST AND AS LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY TAPS INTO
60-70 KT MID LEVEL FLOW. CONFIDENCE OF A WIND EVENT IS HIGH IN
THESE AREAS DUE TO HELP FROM THE TERRAIN...SO HAVE OPTED TO ISSUE
HIGHLIGHTS...A WARNING FOR JUDITH GAP AND ADVISORY FOR BIG TIMBER
WITH GUSTS OF 55-65 MPH EXPECTED. TEMP/WIND PROFILES SUGGEST SOME
MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE JUST PRIOR TO THE COLD FROPA SO
WILL START THE HIGHLIGHTS AT 09Z TONIGHT.

AREAS TO THE EAST WILL DEPEND ON MIXED WINDS TOMORROW FROM LATE
MORNING INTO THE EVENING...BUT THERE ARE SOME COMPLICATIONS.
LATEST MODEL RUNS ARE A BIT FURTHER NE WITH THE SFC LOW AND PAINT
CORE OF GREATEST 850MB FLOW JUST TO OUR NORTH. IN ADDITION...THERE
IS SOME SYNOPTIC ASCENT FROM SECONDARY ZONAL SHORTWAVE BETWEEN
18-00Z. THAT BEING SAID...THERE WILL BE A LOT OF POTENTIAL MIXED
WINDS AS LOW LEVELS DESTABILIZE TO NEAR 700MB...AS ADVERTISED BY
BOTH THE NAM AND GFS. GFS SHOWS STRONGER FLOW THAN THE NAM SO
THERE IS SOME MODEL DISCREPANCY STILL. WITH CONSIDERATIONS TO
LATEST MODEL TRENDS WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH ACROSS OUR
NORTHEAST FROM TREASURE TO FALLON COUNTIES TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. WILL KEEP HIGH WIND WATCH FOR GOLDEN VALLEY...
MUSSELSHELL...STILLWATER AND YELLOWSTONE COUNTIES AND LET NIGHT
SHIFT TAKE A FINAL LOOK. REGARDLESS OF THE HIGHLIGHT...IT WILL BE
VERY WINDY ACROSS THE REGION TOMORROW...ESPECIALLY OUR NORTH. ONE
FINAL ITEM. WIND AND TEMP PROFILES DO SUGGEST SOME MOUNTAIN WAVE
ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE NEAR RED LODGE 12-18Z TOMORROW MORNING. WILL
RAISE GUSTS IN THIS AREA TO 50 MPH AND WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON
THIS. SHOULD SEE SOME HIGH GUSTS AT RED LODGE MOUNTAIN BEGINNING
EARLY TOMORROW MORNING AS WELL. BIG HORN MOUNTAINS NOT AS FAVORED
FOR MTN WAVES IN THIS EVENT.

BESIDES THE WIND...MOIST PACIFIC FLOW WILL FAVOR OUR WEST SLOPES
FOR PERIODS OF ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL EACH OF THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.
TWO SEPARATE SURGES OF MOISTURE EVIDENT ON SATELLITE IMAGERY...AND
WILL KEEP LIKELY POPS FOR THE MOUNTAINS. INITIAL WAVE TOMORROW
MORNING COULD BRING SOME LIGHT LIGHT FREEZING RAIN TO OUR EAST
ROUGHLY BETWEEN 10-16Z...EAST OF SFC TROF AND BEFORE LOW LEVEL
COLD AIR IS SCOURED OUT BY WEST WINDS. WILL KEEP THIS HIGHLIGHTED
IN HWO BUT SHOULD NOT BE A SIGNIFICANT EVENT. OTHERWISE ONLY LOW
CHANCES OF PCPN FOR THE LOWER ELEVATIONS DUE TO THE PERSISTENT
DOWNSLOPING. COULD SEE SLIGHTLY HIGHER CHANCES AS FLOW TURNS MORE
NWLY BY THURSDAY OR THURSDAY NIGHT. MODELS HAD AT ONE TIME SHOWN A
POTENTIAL UPSLOPE EVENT THURSDAY NIGHT BUT LATEST TRENDS SUGGEST
GREATER MOISTURE WITH BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL SAG TO OUR SOUTH BEFORE
ANY DEEP UPSLOPE DEVELOPS.

A VERY WELL MIXED AND MILD DAY TOMORROW WITH TEMPS IN THE 40S OR
NEAR 50 DEGREES. SNOW COVER COULD BE A BIT OF A FACTOR HERE...BUT
FOR THE MOST PART SNOW COVER IS NOT SIGNIFICANT AT THIS TIME.
COOLER DAY COMING THURSDAY BUT STILL WITH TEMPS ABOVE NORMAL.
COLDER AIRMASS WILL SLIDE IN FROM THE NW THURSDAY NIGHT.

JKL

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

A PROGRESSIVE FLOW WILL BE OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIOD WITH A MEAN RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. THE
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS WERE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE PATTERN
WITH SOME DISCREPANCY ON TIMING OF SHORTWAVES. THERE ARE TWO MAIN
SHORTWAVES TO IMPACT THE AREA FOR A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION. THE
FIRST WAVE WILL CRUISE THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. THIS
WAVE WAS TAKING A FARTHER EASTWARD TRACK...LIMITING THE CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION. MAIN IMPACT WILL BE TO DROP A QUICK SHOT OF COLDER
AIR ACROSS THE EAST. THE SECOND WAVE WILL COME THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THIS WAVE WAS STRONGER AND FARTHER WEST AND
WOULD HOLD THE BEST CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE ENTIRE AREA
IF IT MAINTAINS CURRENT TRACK. THE MOUNTAINS WILL CERTAINLY SEE
AN INCREASED CHANCE OF ACCUMULATING SNOW WITH THE SECOND SYSTEM.
WILL MAINTAIN POPS FOR BOTH THESE SYSTEMS. THE WEEKEND WILL BE
DRY AND RELATIVELY MILD WITH RIDGING. TWH

&&

.AVIATION...

MID LEVEL CLOUDS WILL INCREASE TONIGHT. SNOW SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP
OVER THE BEARTOOTH AND ABSAROKA MOUNTAINS WITH OCCASIONAL
OBSCURATIONS EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. WINDS WILL
INCREASE FROM KBIL WEST TONIGHT. WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
INCREASE TO A RANGE OF 35 TO 45 KTS WITH SOME GUSTS TO 60KTS
TONIGHT. THIS WILL IMPACT KLVM...BIG TIMBER AND HARLOWTON. THE
STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE AROUND KLVM. TWH
