Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Missoula MT
249 PM MDT Sun Jul 15 2012

.DISCUSSION...Upper low that has been plaguing the Northern
Rockies through the weekend will finally shift northeast of the
continental divide this evening as another upper low slides down
the Pacific Northwest coast. Have seen some very impressive
rainfall amounts across northwest Montana this afternoon from
storms with some localized flooding and rock/debris slides in the
Mission valley and around the southern/eastern areas of Flathead
Lake.

The upper low will remain along the Pacific Northwest coast Monday
through Tuesday. A southerly flow will remain over north central
Idaho and western Montana. Upper level waves and bouts of moisture
in the flow will keep a threat of showers and thunderstorms each
day. Temperatures will warm, but with expected increased clouds
will not be as hot as temperatures experienced last week. Readings
will be close to or just above seasonal Monday and Tuesday.

The models have diverged on their solutions for the end of the
week through the weekend. So minor changes were made to the
current forecast.

&&

.AVIATION...Showers and thunderstorms will remain over much of
western Montana and Lemhi county Idaho through 16/00z. lowered
ceilings and visibilities with Heavy rain continues to be the main
impacts from storms. Clearing will take place from west to east
tonight and there could be some areas of fog that develop near
sunrise. Monday another surge of Moisture will move into the
region spreading showers and thunderstorms from south to north
through the day.
