AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GLASGOW MT
911 PM MST MON JAN 23 2012

.SHORT TERM...FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

EVENING UPDATE...
NO MAJOR CHANGES FOR THIS EVENING. ONLY UPDATED GRIDS TO DROP
HOURLIES A LITTLE SLOWER... AS THE CLOUD COVER TAKES A COUPLE MORE
HOURS TO THIN THAN ANTICIPATED. THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST LOOKS
GOOD WITH NO CHANGES ANTICIPATED.

ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS WILL EXIT TO THE NORTH AND EAST THIS EVENING BEFORE
MIDNIGHT. CLOUD COVER WILL CONTINUE TO EXIT THE EAST AS WELL.
CLEARING SKIES AFTER MIDNIGHT WILL QUICKLY BRING DROPPING
TEMPERATURES AND SHOULD GET THE HOURLIES BACK ON TRACK. GAH

PREVIOUS SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...
A WEAK CLIPPER WILL SWING ACROSS SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN TONIGHT.
THIS WILL GENERATE MID TO LOW CLOUDS AND DEVELOP MODERATE WESTERLY
WINDS. NOT ANTICIPATING ENOUGH MOISTURE TO WARRANT POPS...BUT HAVE
INCLUDED FLURRIES FOR EASTERN ZONES AFTER MIDNIGHT. BEHIND THE
WEAK COLD FRONT THE NW FLOW SHOULD CLEAR SKIES FROM THE WEST.
MODELS GUIDANCE SUGGEST THIS WILL LEAD TO NEAR NORMAL LOWS...IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS TO LOW TEENS TONIGHT.

TUESDAY...EXPECT WEAK RIDGING TO ZONAL FLOW ALOFT TO RESULT IN
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE GREAT BASIN
WILL PRODUCE A SOUTHWESTERLY BREEZE. THIS WILL LEAD TO A SLIGHT
WARMING ABOVE NORMAL AS A WARM FRONT APPROACHES.

TUESDAY NIGHT...WARMING WILL CONTINUE BEHIND THE WARM FRONT WITH
850MB TEMPERATURES RISING TO AROUND +6*C AND 1000MB-500MB
THICKNESS HEIGHTS INCREASING TO AROUND 545DM. OVERNIGHT LOWS
SHOULD BECOME AROUND 10*F TO 15*F WARMER THAN THE PREVIOUS
NIGHT.

WEDNESDAY...A MORE SIGNIFICANT UPPER DISTURBANCE/SHORTWAVE
DEVELOPS OVER SOUTHERN ALBERTA. THE LEE TROUGH SETS UP A TIGHT
N-S SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS NEMONT...AROUND A 12MB
DIFFERENCE. IN PARALLEL WITH THE SURFACE FLOW...THE JET AT 850MB-
700MB SUGGESTS WINDS OF 65 TO 75 KTS AS SEEN WITH BUFKIT. HOWEVER
THE WIDESPREAD LOW LEVEL SKY COVER COULD PUT A LID ON MIXING
WINDS TO THE SURFACE. THE MAIN WIND THREAT COULD BE OVER HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. WINDS SHOULD HELP RAMP UP MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WELL
ABOVE NORMAL...INTO THE 40S. HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE PRECIPITATION IN
THE GRIDS WHICH STILL LOOKS GOOD CONSIDERING THE LACK OF QPF.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARM ENOUGH FOR LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS. THE LACK
OF SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION DUE TO THE LACK OF MOISTURE COULD BE
THE LIMITING FACTOR ON PREVENTING THE STRONG WINDS FROM REACHING
THE SURFACE. SCT

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...
WEAK SHORTWAVE SLIDES THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS ON THURSDAY
PULLING A COLD FRONT ACROSS MONTANA. A SECOND SHORTWAVE
FOLLOWS ON FRIDAY DIGGING A TROF INTO THE MIDWEST. UPPER FLOW
BECOMES MORE NORTHWEST AND COLD AIR LINGERS OVER THE NORTHERN
PLAINS THROUGH SATURDAY. FLOW BACKS TO THE WEST BY SUNDAY WITH
TEMPERATURES MODERATING WITH WARM AIR SPREADING EAST OF THE
DIVIDE. PRECIPITATION CHANCES ARE SCATTER SHOT WITH NO STRONG
FEATURES IN THE FLOW AND MODELS DIFFERING ON THE WEAK WAVES. EBERT

PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION...NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT IS EXPECTED
THROUGH THE PERIOD. A COLD FRONT WITH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH THURSDAY
AND THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BRING A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS.
THIS WILL BRING SOMEWHAT COLDER AIR BACK INTO THE REGION FOR
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL FOR LATE JANUARY. A SHORTWAVE RIDGE WILL KEEP SATURDAY DRY.

BEYOND SATURDAY...THE MODELS TRACK A SHORTWAVE TROUGH FOR SUNDAY
DIFFERENTLY WITH THE GFS TO THE WEST AND ECMWF TO THE EAST OF
MONTANA. NEXT MONDAY...BOTH THE GFS (WARM FRONT AHEAD OF RIDGE) AND
ECMWF (COLD FRONT AND SHORTWAVE TROUGH) WANT TO BRING PRECIP INTO
THE AREA BUT FOR COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REASONS. WILL MENTION A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW FOR NOW. FORRESTER

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS THRU THE TAF PERIOD. MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL
CONTINUE THIS EVENING AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PASSES OVERHEAD. MAYBE
A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS NORTH OF KGGW TO KOLF.
OTHERWISE...CLEARING OUT BY MORNING WITH LIGHT WINDS VEERING TO
THE WNW. A MORE S TO SW 10 TO 15 KT FLOW REGIME SETS UP AFT 18Z
TUES. MOYER

.GLASGOW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
