AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
318 AM MST SAT DEC 14 2013
.SHORT TERM...VALID FOR TDY AND SUN...
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEKEND CONTINUES TO BE HIGH WIND
PROBABILITIES FOR THE LIVINGSTON AND NYE AREAS...AS WELL AS
HARLOWTON AND JUDITH GAP. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE SITUATED OVER THE
WESTERN STATES WITH ITS AXIS OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST REGION
RESULTING IN A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS MONTANA. UPPER FLOW
REMAINS FAST WITH A FEW WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING OVERHEAD.
HOWEVER...MOISTURE WILL BE LACKING SO NOT EXPECTING ANY PRECIP
TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME SNOW SHOWER
ACTIVITY FOR THE MOUNTAINS.
A STRONG JET STREAK WILL BEGIN TO MOVE OVER THE FORECAST AREA
LATER TODAY CONTINUING INTO THE DAY MONDAY. IN ADDITION...SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE OVER IDAHO COMBINED WITH SURFACE LOW PRESSURE MOVING
ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA WILL SET UP LEE-SIDE TROUGHING ACROSS OUR
FORECAST AREA. PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL BE VERY TIGHT ACROSS THE
LIVINGSTON AREA BUT NOT IN THE OPTIMAL PERPENDICULAR ORIENTATION
ACROSS THE PARADISE VALLEY. BUT GIVEN THE TIGHTNESS OF THE
GRADIENT AND THE VERY COLD AIR IN THE YELLOWSTONE PARK
REGION...VERY STRONG WINDS ARE STILL EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY LATE
TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT WHEN GUIDANCE IS SHOWING SUSTAINED
WINDS APPROACHING 50 MPH. 700MB WINDS ARE AROUND 50KTS BUT NOT
LINKED TOO WELL WITH 850MB WINDS...ESPECIALLY FURTHER NORTH ACROSS
WHEATLAND COUNTY. ALTHOUGH LAPSE RATES WILL BE STEEP SUNDAY INTO
SUNDAY NIGHT FOR THIS AREA. AS A RESULT...HAVE UPGRADED THE HIGH
WIND WATCH TO A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THE LIVINGSTON/NYE AREAS BUT
WILL LEAVE THE WATCH IN PLACE FOR THE HARLOWTON AND JUDITH GAP
AREAS AND SEE HOW MODEL DATA UNFOLDS TODAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
ABOVE NORMAL TODAY AND SUNDAY FOR MOST LOCATIONS WITH READINGS IN
THE 30S AND 40S. HOOLEY
.LONG TERM...VALID FOR MON...TUE...WED...THU...FRI...
CONFIDENCE GROWING FOR A PERIOD OF MILD WEATHER TO START THE
EXTENDED...FOLLOWED BY AN ARCTIC SURGE TO END IT. DID NOT MAKE
MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FORECAST BUT DID ADJUST TEMPERATURES UP A
TOUCH FOR THE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME.
SLIGHTLY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT MONDAY AND TUESDAY WILL TURN ZONAL
FOR WEDNESDAY. A TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL KEEP STRONG
WINDS GOING OVER THE WEST EARLY MONDAY. THE GRADIENT RELAXES
MONDAY AFTERNOON BUT OVERALL DOWNSLOPE FLOW CONTINUES FOR MILD
CONDITIONS. SHORTWAVE ENERGY STAYS MAINLY TO THE NORTH AND THUS
SHOULD HAVE A DRY FORECAST WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE WEST AND NORTHWEST FACING
SLOPES. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE NEXT ARCTIC INTRUSION.
AN UPPER TROUGH DIGS INTO THE GREAT BASIN THURSDAY. THIS ALLOWS
ARCTIC AIR TO PUSH INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MODELS HAVE
SLOWED JUST A TOUCH WITH THE ONSET OF THE COLD AIR BUT IMAGINE
THIS WILL WAFFLE BY 6 TO 12 HOURS FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL A HARD
TIMING CAN BE ESTABLISHED. A STRONG OVER RUNNING EVENT AIDED BY
UPSLOPE FLOW WILL PROVIDE SNOWFALL LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT. SYSTEM APPEARS MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN THE PREVIOUS
ARCTIC AS LOW LEVELS TURN DOWNSLOPE BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE
SURFACE HIGH SLIDING INTO NORTH DAKOTA. MODELS WERE CONSISTENT ON
THIS AS THE BULK OF THE COLDEST AIR STAYS TO THE EAST. COLDEST
PERIOD LOOKS TO BE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. TWH
&&
.AVIATION...
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PATCHY FOG FROM KMLS TO KBHK...VFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TODAY. WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING AROUND KLVM AND NORTH ALONG THE NORTHERN ROCKY FRONT
RANGE. GUSTS TO 50KTS WILL DEVELOP AT KLVM LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
THIS EVENING. THESE WINDS WILL BECOME EVEN STRONGER OVERNIGHT AND
EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE FROM BIG TIMBER TO
HARLOWTON TO JUDITH GAP THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS
OCCURRING TONIGHT AND SUNDAY WITH GUSTS TO 50KTS EXPECTED. GUSTS
TO 30KTS ARE ANTICIPATED AT KBIL THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY. A
FEW SNOW SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE BEARTOOTH/ABSAROKA
MOUNTAINS WHICH WILL CAUSE A FEW OBSCURATIONS. TWH
