AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
1055 AM MST MON NOV 5 2012

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.UPDATE...
WIDESPREAD CLOUDINESS CONTINUES OVER THE FORECAST AREA. EARLIER
THERE WAS A BAND OF PRECIPITATION THAT WAS PRODUCING SOME LIGHT
RAIN EAST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE BUT THAT BAND HAS MOVED EAST
OF THE FORECAST AREA. THUS WILL DROP THE MENTION OF PRECIPITATION
EXCEPT FOR THE WESTERN MOUNTAINS FOR THE REST OF TODAY. SHOULD SEE
SOME SUN OVER SOUTHWEST MONTANA THIS AFTERNOON AS A PORTION OF AN
UPPER RIDGE OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST MOVES INTO THAT AREA AND
HAVE CHANGED THE FORECAST TO REFLECT THAT. OTHERWISE MADE A FEW
TWEAKS TO WINDS AND HIGH TEMPERATURES. BLANK

&&

.DISCUSSION...
TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...STRONG WESTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE ALONG
THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT AND ADJACENT PLAINS THIS MORNING. WIND
GUSTS UP TO 55KTS ARE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING ALONG THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN
FRONT AND WILL CONTINUE HIGH WIND WARNING THROUGH 6PM MST. STRONG
DOWNSLOPE WINDS OVER THE PLAINS AND WARM SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER
SOUTHWEST MONTANA WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES 15 TO 20 DEGREES ABOVE
SEASONAL AVERAGES. ONE OF THE FEATURES THAT IS PROMOTING STRONG
WINDS OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT IS A WEAK UPPER-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT THAT WILL PUSH INTO AREAS ALONG
THE HI-LINE TODAY. THERE MAY BE A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS WITH THIS FRONT
SO HAVE INCREASED POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE FOR AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF
HIGHWAY 2. IN RESPONSE TO THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...OVERNIGHT LOW
TEMPERATURES WILL BE FEW DEGREES COOLER ALONG THE HI-LINE WHILE MILD
CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ELSEWHERE. AN UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE WILL
BUILD INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES TUESDAY WITH LIGHTER WINDS AND
UNSEASONABLY MILD TEMPERATURES ANTICIPATED. ON TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...ANOTHER UPPER-LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL HELP TO FLATTEN
THE RIDGE AND BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO AREAS ALONG THE
HI-LINE...THOUGH MODELS DIFFER ON HOW FAR SOUTH PRECIPITATION WILL
OCCUR. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED TUESDAY NIGHT AS
PACIFIC MOISTURE INCREASES AND ANOTHER STRONGER TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. PRECIPITATION
CHANCES WILL INCREASE INTO CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST MONTANA ON
WEDNESDAY AS THE FIRST PUSH OF COOLER AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THE
STRONGER AND MUCH COLDER TROUGH BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE FORECAST
AREA. MLV

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY..MEDIUM RANGE PERIOD STARTS OUT WITH
A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE WEATHER AS A CANADIAN COLD FRONT PUSHES
SOUTH THROUGH MONTANA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH ALONG THE WEST COAST WILL BRING A VERY MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT WHICH WILL OVER-RUN A COLD CANADIAN AIRMASS BUILDING OVER THE
TREASURE STATE IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION
DEVELOPS ACROSS MONTANA WITH RAIN CHANGING OVER TO SNOW FROM NORTH
TO SOUTH AS THE COLD AIRMASS DEEPENS ACROSS THE REGION. SNOW IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY WITH ADDITIONAL COLD AIR BEING PUMPED IN FROM THE NORTH.
MODELS HAVE BEEN IN INCREDIBLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM
SINCE LAST WEEK SO FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THIS WILL BE A VERY
SIGNIFICANT AUTUMN STORM SYSTEM WITH WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATING SNOWS
REQUIRING HIGHLIGHTS ACROSS A WIDE PORTION OF MY FORECAST AREA. AS A
RESULT I HAVE INCREASED POPS TO GREATER THAN 80 PERCENT FOR MUCH OF
MY FORECAST AREA FOR THE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY TIME FRAME.
MODELS SUGGEST THAT THE UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY WITH PRECIPITATION TAPERING OFF FROM WEST TO
EAST. MODELS SOLUTIONS DIVERGE A BIT BY SUNDAY WITH THE GFS
SUGGESTING THAT THE COLD AIR WILL MOVE EAST WITH A RETURN TO
WESTERLY WINDS WARMING THE FORECAST AREA WHILE THE ECMWF DOES NOT
BEGIN TO SHOW ANY SIGNIFICANT WARMING UNTIL MONDAY. HAVE OPTED TO
LEAN MORE TOWARD THE ECMWF FORECAST WHICH APPEARS MORE REASONABLE IN
KEEPING THE COLD AIR IN PLACE FOR ANOTHER DAY. MPJ

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1755Z.
STRONG SURFACE WINDS...GUSTING UP TO 40 KNOTS ACROSS THE PLAINS...
WILL DIMINISH LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS A STRONG MID-LEVEL JET STREAM
BEGINS TO EXIT THE AREA. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH OUT OF
CANADA THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT INTO NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA...
REACHING AS FAR SOUTH AS KCTB...KHVR...AND KLWT BEFORE STALLING OUT.
ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS AND LOW CLOUDS COULD ACCOMPANY THE FRONT THIS
EVENING AT KHVR AND KLWT...HOWEVER...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL. A STREAM OF PACIFIC MOISTURE ALOFT WILL KEEP A LARGE SHIELD
OF HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS OVER THE AREA THROUGH MOST OF THE TAF PERIOD.
