AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
1130 AM MDT THU OCT 18 2012

AVIATION SECTION UPDATED

.UPDATE...
AN UPPER RIDGE OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THIS MORNING WILL MOVE
INTO WESTERN MONTANA THIS AFTERNOON AND KEEP THE FORECAST AREA
DRY. THERE WILL BE SOME HIGH CLOUDS MOVING THROUGH THE RIDGE THAT
WILL AFFECT SOUTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA BUT EXPECT THAT
THEY WILL BE THIN SO HAVE INCREASED SUNSHINE FOR THIS AFTERNOON.
THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK. BLANK

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1730Z.
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS IS POSITIONED OVER MONTANA WITH THIN CIRRUS
BUT OTHERWISE CLEAR SKIES. A SHORT WAVE TO THE WEST WILL APPROACH
THE ROCKIES TONIGHT AND MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE ROCKIES INTO CENTRAL MONTANA. A CHINOOK ARCH
COULD APPEAR EAST OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT EARLY FRIDAY AS THE
LEE TROUGH STRENGTHENS. SURFACE WINDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN LIGHT
OVERNIGHT...BUT THEN INCREASE AFTER 1200Z. VFR CONDS WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. NUTTER

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 518 AM MDT THU OCT 18 2012/
TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY...THE MAIN STORY WILL BE AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE REGION FOR TODAY AND FRIDAY RESULTING IN
MILDER TEMPERATURES TODAY AND FRIDAY...THEN ANOTHER PERIOD OF
STRONG WINDS AND A GRADUAL COOLING TREND...WITH THE WEATHER
BECOMING MORE LATE FALL-LIKE CONDITIONS. IT WILL BE DRY ACROSS THE
REGION TODAY...WITH AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES WARMER
THAN WEDNESDAY. ADDITIONALLY...WIND SPEEDS WILL BE A BIT
LIGHTER...BUT STILL BREEZY AT TIMES THIS AFTERNOON. QUIET AND
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED TONIGHT FOR ALL AREAS
EXCEPT THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT. THE FLOW ALOFT WILL BEGIN TO
STRENGTHEN OVER THE FRONT RANGE...AND THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS BY MORNING OVER THE FRONT RANGE. ON FRIDAY...EXPECT MID
LEVEL WINDS TO INCREASE QUITE A BIT...RESULTING IN WARMER AIR
MOVING NORTHWARD INTO ALL OF CENTRAL MONTANA. FRIDAY WILL LIKELY
BE THE LAST WARMEST DAY WE HAVE FOR QUITE AWHILE. WIND SPEEDS
COULD APPROACH HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA OVER THE FRONT
RANGE...BUT WITH THE EXPECTED PRECIP...I WILL HOLD OFF ON A WATCH
FOR NOW. THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN FRIDAY NIGHT AND
INTO SATURDAY MORNING...AND THERE CONTINUES TO BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR HIGH WIND HIGHLIGHTS THROUGH THIS PERIOD AS WELL. THESE HIGH
WINDS COULD SPREAD OUT OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AS WELL. EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO BE COOLER ON SATURDAY...AS A PACIFIC COLD FRONT
MOVES SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE DAY. THE COOLER AIR
WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT...SO JUST A SLOW FALL IN
TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONTAL PASSAGE ON SATURDAY.
NEVER-THE-LESS...IT WILL BE TURNING COOLER...AND COMBINED WITH THE
WIND...IT WILL FEEL QUITE CHILLY FOR MOST AREAS.
ADDITIONALLY...SOME SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS FROM LATE FRIDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY WILL MAINLY BE CONFINED TO THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN
FRONT...AND THE HIGHEST TOTALS WILL BE FOR ELEVATIONS ABOVE 6000
FEET WHERE ABOUT 6 TO 10 INCHES COULD FALL IN ABOUT A 30 HOUR
PERIOD FROM LATE FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON. NO
WINTER HIGHLIGHTS WILL BE ISSUED AT THIS TIME...AND WE WILL
CONTINUE TO EVALUATE LATER MODEL RUNS ON SNOW AMOUNTS. BRUSDA

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
DEFINED BY A PAIR UPPER LEVEL LOWS WILL BE OVER OVER THE WESTERN US
SATURDAY NIGHT. ONE LOW OVER SASKATCHEWAN WILL VERY SLOWLY MOVE EAST
WHILE THE SECOND LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL MOVE OVER THE WEST COAST.
THIS WILL DEEPEN INTO A NEARLY STATIONARY TROF THAT WILL REMAIN OVER
THE WEST COAST INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. MOIST...SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD
OF THIS SYSTEM WILL KEEP THE LOCAL AREA UNSETTLED AND RELATIVELY
COOL. BRISK WEST FLOW AT LOW LEVELS WILL DIMINISH SATURDAY EVENING
ALTHOUGH STRONGEST WINDS WILL HAVE OCCURRED EARLIER IN THE DAY.
WINDS WILL DIMINISH FURTHER AS A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
CANADIAN BORDER SUNDAY. FLOW WILL BE RATHER WEAK AND THE STRENGTH OF
UPSLOPE FOR SNOW GENERATION IS QUESTIONABLE. THE LOW PRESSURE TROF
WILL MOVE OVER THE ZONES THURSDAY AND AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
BRINGS ANOTHER PUSH OF COLD AIR OUT OF THE NORTH. THIS SHOULD BE A
STRONGER FRONT ALTHOUGH...WITH THE LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE SPREAD
ACROSS THE WESTERN US...TIMING AT THIS STAGE IS ONLY A GUESS. ZELZER
