AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
941 PM MDT MON MAR 19 2012

.SHORT TERM...VALID FOR TUE AND WED...

DEEP UPPER LOW SHIFTING ACROSS SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN WITH WRAP
AROUND MOISTURE ACROSS NORTHEAST MONTANA. 700MB COLD AIR
ADVECTION AND DEFORMATION AS THE 500MB LOW PULLS AWAY WAS
LINGERING WEAK SNOW SHOWERS EAST OF BILLINGS. WOULD EXPECT THIS
ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE TO TAPER DOWN THROUGH THE REST OF THE
EVENING. CLOUDS WILL HANG AROUND FOR A GOOD DEAL OF THE NIGHT AND
THIS WILL AID TO KEEP TEMPERATURES UP. WINDS HAVE STAYED UP...BUT
SHOULD TAPER OFF SOME OVER THE EAST AS THE SURFACE LOW PULLS
NORTH. LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST OVER CENTRAL
AND WESTERN ZONES AND THIS WILL BE ENHANCED BY DRAINAGE WINDS.
WINDS WILL TURN TO THE SOUTHWEST AT BILLINGS TONIGHT AND KEEP
TEMPERATURES UP. DID ADJUST A FEW OVERNIGHT LOWS DOWN IN LESS
WINDY LOCATIONS WITH SOME SNOW COVER. WINDS WILL TURN SOUTHWEST
AND INCREASE OVERNIGHT AT LIVINGSTON. NOT MUCH WARM AIR ADVECTION
ON TOP OF COLD AIR FOR A STABLE LAYER NEAR MOUNTAIN TOP LEVEL AT
THIS POINT...BUT GRADIENT LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH FOR A POTENTIAL
ADVISORY. NOT SEEING ANY SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS OVER SOUTHERN
BRITISH COLUMBIA YET TO TURN WINDS SOUTHWEST. WILL BUMP WINDS UP
AND BRIEF THE MIDNIGHT CREW ON POTENTIAL. TWH

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

UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM STUCK IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS THROUGH THE WEEK
WILL DEFLECT PACIFIC NORTHWEST SYSTEMS AWAY FROM THE AREA GOING
INTO THE WEEKEND. WILL SEE SOME MID LEVEL PACIFIC MOISTURE MOVE
INTO THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS FOR LOW SNOW CHANCES FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY. NEXT CHANCE FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION LOOKS
LIKE IT WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. TEMPERATURES
THROUGH THE EXTENDED WILL BE WELL ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR THANKS TO A WEST TO SOUTHWEST MID LEVEL FLOW DOWNSLOPING OFF
THE DIVIDE. ONE INTERESTING THING TO WATCH FOR BY LATE IN THE
WEEK IS A FLOW OF GULF MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE QUASI-
STATIONARY SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL US. THIS MOISTURE WRAPS INTO
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA AND COULD BE ENOUGH FOR AN
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM THREAT OVER EASTERN AREAS FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY...THOUGH THIS IS STILL TOO FAR OUT TO MENTION IN
FORECAST AT THIS TIME. CHAMBERS

&&

.AVIATION...

SHOWER ACTIVITY MAINLY EAST OF KBIL WILL WANE OVERNIGHT WITH
WESTERLY WINDS BECOMING SOUTHWESTERLY. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES
SHOULD REMAIN VFR. SKY CONDITIONS WILL BE CLEARING BY MORNING AND
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED TUESDAY. WINDS WILL BECOME STRONG FOR
KLVM BY AFTERNOON. BORSUM
