1040 AM MST TUE JAN 10 2012

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.UPDATE...
AS OF 9 AM THE COLD FRONT HAD MOVED SOUTH OF CUT BANK AND HAVRE
AND AS HAS BEEN ADVERTISED WILL CONTINUE MOVING SOUTH THE
REMAINDER OF TODAY. ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COLD FRONT THERE IS A
BAND OF SNOW MOVING SOUTH ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE ROCKY
MOUNTAINS. THIS BAND ALSO EXTENDS FARTHER EAST INTO NORTH CENTRAL
MONTANA WHERE THERE IS ALSO A LITTLE RAIN. THIS RAIN SHOULD NOT
LAST LONG AS COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THAT PARTICULAR AREA. HAVE
ADJUSTED HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THE REST OF TODAY IN THE NORTH
DOWN TOWARDS TEMPERATURES AS OF MID-MORNING. OVER SOUTHWEST
MONTANA A WEATHER DISTURBANCE WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA
LATER THIS MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON. SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWED A BAND OF LIKELY PRECIPITATION JUST MOVING INTO BEAVERHEAD
COUNTY AS OF 930 AM AND THIS BAND WILL MOVE EAST AHEAD OF THE
WEATHER DISTURBANCE. BLANK

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1740Z.
VISIBILITIES AND CEILING HEIGHTS WILL CONTINUE TO DECREASE AS A COLD
FRONT AND ASSOCIATED SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FOR MUCH OF THE
DAYLIGHT HOURS TODAY. CONDITIONS SHOULD BEGIN TO IMPROVE AT MOST
LOCATIONS AROUND 00Z OR SLIGHTLY AFTER...WITH SOME LOCATIONS IN
SOUTHWEST MONTANA TAKING UNTIL 06Z TO CLEAR OUT. WIDESPREAD VFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN TO MOST LOCATIONS BY 12Z. SUK

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
803 AM MST TUE JAN 10 2012

UPDATE...
SOME TEMPERATURES ARE NEAR OR HAVE EXCEEDED FORECAST HIGHS..MAINLY
IN THE NORTH. WITH COLD FRONT ONLY IN THE FAR NORTH EXPECT THERE
COULD BE A LITTLE WARMING BEFORE THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH SO
HAVE UPDATED TO GO WITH WARMER HIGHS FOR TODAY. REMAINDER OF THE
FORECAST APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK. BLANK

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 441 AM MST TUE JAN 10 2012/

TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MOISTURE IS BEGINNING TO SPREAD INTO
WESTERN MONTANA AHEAD OF A PACIFIC COLD FRONT THAT WILL BRING SNOW
MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES TO THE FORECAST AREA. MODELS CONTINUE TO BE
INCONSISTENT WITH THIS SYSTEM AND DO NOT HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE
REGARDING SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE AREA. REGARDING TIMING...THE
PACIFIC FRONT SHOULD CROSS THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE BY MID-MORNING AND
THEN CENTRAL MONTANA AROUND MIDDAY. ORIGINALLY THOUGHT TEMPERATURES
WOULD RAPIDLY DROP POSSIBLY LEADING TO A FLASH FREEZE
POTENTIAL...HOWEVER THE SECOND PART OF THIS SYSTEM WHICH IS THE COLD
CANADIAN AIRMASS IS FURTHER BEHIND AND MAY NOT REACH OUR AREA UNTIL
LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING. THUS...EXPECT A GRADUALLY DROP IN
TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE DAY. STILL EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO
ACCOMPANY THE PACIFIC FRONT BUT HAVE ADJUSTED THE TIMING SLIGHTLY.
WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S THIS MORNING...A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW
IS POSSIBLE AT THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION...HOWEVER FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SHOW A POCKET OF DRIER AIR AT THE SURFACE WHICH SHOULD
HELP TO QUICKLY CHANGE PRECIPITATION TO ALL SNOW. AM NOT EXPECTING
ANY FREEZING RAIN DUE TO THE DRIER SURFACE AIR. AS FOR SNOW...BEST
CHANCE FOR MODERATE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE ALONG THE ROCKY
MOUNTAIN FRONT WHERE CURRENT WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT.
GIVEN FAVORABLE UPSLOPE CONDITIONS WITH THE SECOND PART OF THIS
SYSTEM...HAVE ADDED A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY ABOVE 5000 FEET FOR
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN FRONT AS WELL AS THE
BIG/LITTLE BELT MOUNTAINS AND SNOWY MOUNTAINS. SNOW AMOUNTS OF 2 TO
5 INCHES ARE EXPECTED WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS OVER THE HIGHER PEAKS. IN
ADDITION TO SNOW AND FALLING TEMPERATURES...GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS
ARE ANTICIPATED WHICH WILL LEAD TO AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW. COLD
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING DRIER AIR BY TUESDAY NIGHT AND
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS. HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY
WILL BE MUCH COLDER WITH READINGS BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGES. THE COLD
AIR WILL BE BRIEF AND TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND TO AROUND SEASONAL
AVERAGES ON THURSDAY. MLV

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...A SHORTWAVE WILL BE MOVING
ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT. THE GFS IS QUICKER WITH THIS
FEATURE WHILE THE ECMWF LAGS BY ABOUT 6 HOURS. PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS SHOULD BE SCANTY WITH THE GENERAL DRY AIRMASS AND FAST
MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ALOFT
FRIDAY...AND THE GFS DEVELOPS VERY BREEZY CONDITIONS ALONG THE LEE
SLOPES OF THE ROCKIES ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORTWAVE CROSSING THE
ROCKIES IN ALBERTA. HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ALTHOUGH
THE RIDGE WILL BECOME FLATTENED SATURDAY AS A LOW PRESSURE TROF
OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC APPROACHES THE WEST COAST. THE APPROACH
OF THE TROF WILL STRENGTHEN UPPER LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE ROCKIES
AND ALSO DEVELOP A STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT...AND VERY
STRONG SURFACE WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND ADJACENT
PLAINS. A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL
MOVE SOUTH ACROSS THE CANADIAN BORDER SUNDAY AND BRING A
SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER AIRMASS INTO NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA. THE ECMWF
DIGS THIS FARTHER INTO THE CWA AND BRINGS COLDER TEMPS ACROSS THE
CWA. TEMPS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN ABOVE NORMALS UNTIL DROPPING
BELOW NORMALS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE ON SUNDAY. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO SLOWLY REBUILD MONDAY NIGHT. THE AIRMASS
WILL DRY BUT WARMING WILL BE QUITE SLOW. ZELZER
