AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
915 AM MST THU JAN 12 2012

.SHORT TERM...VALID FOR TDY AND FRI...

UPDATE TO FORECAST FOR THIS MORNING. SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND IS BRINGING SOME LIGHT SNOW NORTH OF OUR
AREA. LIGHT SNOWFALL WILL MOVE ACROSS OUR SOUTHEAST ZONES THIS
MORNING THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. HAVE ADDED ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
POPS EAST OF A LINE FROM NORTHERN ROSEBUD COUNTY SOUTHEAST
THROUGH EKALAKA. LOWERED AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES AS
SURFACE GRADIENT SUPPORTING SOUTHWEST WINDS TODAY. AIR MOVING
OVER RECENT SNOWFALL SHOULD INHIBIT MAXIMUM HEATING TODAY. WE
SHOULD STILL SEE WARMER TEMPERATURES THAN YESTERDAY WITH READINGS
IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S. ALSO INCREASED WINDS FROM BILLINGS WEST
THIS MORNING WITH COLD AIR DRAINAGE. RICHMOND

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

MODELS APPEAR TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE EXTENDED
PERIOD...WITH SLIGHT DIFFERENCES CONFINED MAINLY TO TIMING.

HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATING THE PATTERN WILL BRING A RETURN OF WARM
AND DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES
WILL AGAIN RISE INTO THE MID 40S ACROSS THE REGION. A DRASTIC
CHANGE IS ON TAP BEGINNING SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. THE RIDGE
WILL SHIFT EASTWARD BRINGING STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT TO THE
REGION. MEANWHILE A STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO THE
REGION. TEMPERATURES SHOULD STILL HAVE A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF
CLIMBING TO NEAR 50 DEGREES...DUE TO THE WARM START TO THE
DAY..AND AIDED BY PREFRONTAL WARMING. THE BATTLING AIR MASSES SET
THE STAGE FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE PRETTY GOOD POTENTIAL FOR A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF MODERATE ISENTROPIC LIFT ACROSS MUCH OF THE
REGION FROM SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY UNTIL THURSDAY. ENHANCED UPSLOPE
FLOW SHOULD ALSO PLAY A ROLE...AT LEAST PERIODICALLY...RESULTING
IN ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. TEMPS DURING THIS
PERIOD SHOULD DROP BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGE. HAVE LOWERED TEMPS
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM INHERITED FORECAST...DROPPING TO HIGHS IN THE
20S FOR MON THROUGH WED...AND LOWS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS EACH
NIGHT. THIS STILL KEEPS FORECAST NUMBERS SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN MEX
FOR MOST AREAS. THE ARCTIC APPEARS TO PUSH OUT OF THE REGION
WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY...WITH TEMPS BEGINNING TO RISE BACK
TO SEASONAL LEVEL OR A FEW DEGREES WARMER. IT DOES APPEAR THAT THE
PATTERN COULD REMAIN PRETTY ACTIVE...WITH CONTINUING PRECIP ACROSS
THE REGION. AAG

&&

.AVIATION...

GUSTY WEST/SOUTHWEST WINDS CONTINUE TO IMPACT KLVM AREA AND
EASTERN FOOTHILLS OF THE BEARTOOTH/ABSAROKA MOUNTAINS....AS WELL
AS THE BIG TIMBER AREA...WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 30 KNOTS. WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO WEAKEN JUST A BIT THIS AFTERNOON...BUT WILL BE ON THE
RISE FROM KBIL WEST AGAIN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT WITH GUSTS GREATER
THAN 40 KTS POSSIBLE AFTER 06Z IN THE KLVM REGION AND ALONG THE
BEARTOOTH/ABSAROKA FOOTHILLS. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SNOW
SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON OVER EASTERN ROUTES WITH SPOTTY MVFR
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. THERE WILL ALSO BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW
SHOWERS OVER THE MOUNTAINS...RESULTING IN OCCASIONAL MOUNTAIN
OBSCURATIONS. OTHERWISE...MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED.
