AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
1013 AM MST Fri Dec 13 2013

...CORRECTED PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

.UPDATE...Shortwave energy passing over the state has brought
isolated to scattered snow showers to southern portions of the
forecast area this morning. Behind the wave, however, skies have
cleared across my northwest zones. Have updated mainly to reduce
morning cloud cover in North Central Montana and have also made
minor tweaks to morning pops. With morning sunshine across the
north I have also made a few upward tweaks to forecast high
temperatures. Next system will approach the region overnight with
cloud cover increasing this afternoon and overnight. mpj

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1130z.
Upper-level trof currently moving across central and southwest MT
will make steady but slow progress eastward today. Extensive Pacific
moisture plume accompanying the trof will keep widespread mid-level
BKN-OVC skies across the region into this evening. Conditions should
generally remain VFR, but could see some occasional MVFR ceilings
near any of the scattered light -SHSN expected to develop this
morning. Precipitation will taper off this afternoon as the trof
moves downstream.  Expect winds mostly at/below 15 kts, except vcnty
KCTB where gusts around 25 kts are forecast from late morning
through early evening.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 430 AM MST Fri Dec 13 2013/
Today through Sunday...
the upper level pattern will continue to deamplify through this
weekend as a series of pacific storm systems and associated upper
level jet ride over a broad ridge along the west coast of North
America and generally track well our north, allowing mild Pacific
air to flood into the region from the west. Shortwave trough
tracking east across MT this morning will bring a period of snow
showers to portions of southwest MT and areas along the Continental
Divide with a few isolated showers possible over the
plains/valleys. At the surface, a nearly stationary frontal boundary
extending from near Cut Bank east to the Missouri Breaks has moved
little overnight, dividing a shallow/cool airmass with temperatures
in the single digits and teens to its north from relatively warmer
conditions in the 20s and 30s to its south. A weak trough of low
pressure at he surface over north central MT will shift southeast
today and may allow a brief intrusion of the cooler airmass as far
south as Great Falls and Lewistown this morning, however increasing
westerly flow aloft should push the boundary back to the northeast
this afternoon. There will be enough moisture and weak shortwave
energy embedded with the west to northwest flow aloft to keep a
significant amount of cloud-cover streaming into the region through
the weekend, however precipitation from tonight through Sunday will
mainly be limited to the higher terrain along the Rocky Mtn Front.
The Pacific Jet will begin to nose into the region Saturday
afternoon and winds aloft increase as well. this in combination with
a deepening lee-side trough should support strong winds along the
Rocky Mtn front and adjacent plains Saturday afternoon through
Sunday with the period of strongest winds looking to occur Saturday
night into Sunday morning. Will highlight this with a high wind
watch for the Rocky Mtn Front and Glacier county. Temperatures on
Saturday will warm to above seasonal averages with winds on Saturday
night likely keeping temperatures particularly mild along the east
slopes of the Rockies. Hoenisch

Sunday Night through Friday...Little significant weather expected
from late Sunday through Wednesday morning, only to be followed by
our second major cold blast of the month for the latter half of the
week.  Region will be under a northwest flow pattern aloft on
Mon/Tues, with high temperatures in the mid-upper 40s, as broad high
pressure ridge remains parked along the California coast.  Except
for some scattered snow showers along the Rocky Mtn Front on those
days, forecast models show little if any moisture coming through
central and southwest MT. By Wed morning, a strong upper-level trof
makes a definitive southward push through British Columbia with the
trof axis reaching the PacNW coast around midday Wed.  Extensive
Pacific moisture, in conjunction with a sharp surface cold front
ahead of the trof axis, comes east of the Continental Divide Wed
evening, bringing widespread snow that will work its way from
north-to-south on Thurs. GFS and ECM models remain in decent
agreement that an arctic airmass will settle into our region behind
the cold front, ushering in a return to high temperatures only in
the teens on Thurs and single digits above zero on Fri.  Low
temperatures both Thurs and Fri nights should be below zero.  There
is already some concern that temperatures could go considerably
lower on Fri and possibly into next weekend as the current longwave
(large scale flow) forecast depicts a pattern very similar to last
weeks bitterly cold conditions with strong northerly flow coming
from northeast Siberia and far northern Alaska. This forecast is
also supported fairly well, at this point, by the GFS and European
model ensemble solutions, which trend toward a significantly colder
pattern. Waranauskas
