AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
450 AM MST Tue Jan 29 2013

UPDATED AVIATION SECTION

.DISCUSSION...

Today through Thursday...A Canadian cold front will continue to push
through the forecast area this morning with a much colder airmass
filling in behind it. As of 3 am MST, the cold front was over Great
Falls. A band of snow has developed along the front south of Great
Falls on the northern slopes of the Big/Little Belt Mountains and
this band may persist through at least midday as upslope flow
persists. Light snow has also developed along the Hi-Line from Cut
Bank to Havre as of 3 am MST with winds gusting 20 to 25 mph.
Temperatures will continue to quickly fall to around 0 by early
this afternoon along the Hi-Line, single digits across central
Montana and teens over southwest Montana. Strongest pressure rises
have been noted in southern Alberta and as these push into north-
central Montana, strong northerly winds will gust up to 30 mph.
The combination of strong northerly winds and cold temperatures
will create wind chills of -15 to -30. Winds will be lighter over
southwest Montana. Total snowfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches
are expected over the north-central plains and southwest valleys
with 4 to 8 inches in the mountains. Isolated higher amounts on
north-aspect slopes are possible. The bulk of accumulating
snowfall will be this morning along and just behind the front.
Even though significant snowfall amounts are not expected with
this system, the combination of falling snow and strong winds will
cause impacts to travel with widespread blowing snow and
visibilities less than one-half mile at times as well as snow-
covered/slick roadways. The cold temperatures and wind chills will
also cause stress on young livestock and impacts to any outdoor
activities. Winter weather advisories remain in effect through
this evening and wind chill advisories are in effect for north-
central Montana through early Wednesday morning.

Snow showers will persist through Thursday under unsettled northwest
flow and temperatures will remain below seasonal averages through at
least Wednesday. Another round of light snow associated with an
upper-level shortwave is possible beginning later on Wednesday and
Wednesday night with a few inches of snow accumulation possible,
mainly along and east of I-15 including the Little Belt, Bridger and
Snowy mountain ranges.  MLV

Thursday Night through Monday...The medium range period begins with
a coastal ridge pattern, that is, an upper ridge over the west coast
and moist northwest flow aloft over the area. Shortwave energy moves
down the front of the ridge Thursday night bringing isolated snow
across the plains and heavier snow to the mountains and high country
of southwest Montana through Friday. By Saturday, the ridge axis
will move to the Continental Divide and will usher in a period of
dry and moderate conditions. The models flatten the ridge a bit on
Sunday as a weak shortwave moves through the ridge position.
Moisture is lacking with this feature and any precipitation will be
confined to the mountains. The upper ridge strengthens on Monday
continuing a generally dry pattern for the plains. Temperatures will
average some 10 to 12 degrees above seasonal averages during the
period with slightly cooler readings across the northeast.

&&

.AVIATION...
Updated 1150Z.
A surface cold front will continue to move south across the area
today. Gusty northerly winds will accompany the front with light
snow developing behind the front. VFR conditions prevail with
increasing MVFR/IFR conditions due to lowering ceilings and snow.
Mountains becoming obscured. MVFR/IFR conditions will become
widespread after 15z. Conditions will begin to improve from the
north after 00z.
