AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
427 AM MST Sat Mar 2 2013

...UPDATE TO AVIATION...

.DISCUSSION...

Today through Monday...Unseasonably warm today and tonight before
a significant change in the weather pattern for Sunday through
Monday. The upper level ridge of high pressure will gradually be
flattened today into tonight as the weather-changing Pacific
system approaches from the west. Temperatures today and tonight
will be 10 to 20 degrees warmer than normal across north central
and southwest Montana as breezy westerly downslope winds persist.
It will remain dry today, but moisture ahead of the approaching
system will bring precipitation to the mountain areas overnight.
The snow level will only fall slightly from 7000 feet this evening
to between 5500 and 6000 feet by Sunday morning. The Pacific
weather system will strengthen as it moves into Montana through
the day on Sunday. The initial surge of moisture into southwest
Montana will mostly move east out of the area by early Sunday
evening for decreasing precipitation there. However,
precipitation will become widespread snow across north central
Montana as a deep and moist northerly upslope flow develops there.
The snow level will also fall to terrain level across the entire
area through Sunday evening as a Canadian cold front associated
with the system sweeps south through the area. Mid level winds in
the 35 to 50 kt range associated with the passing cold front will
keep surface winds quite breezy Sunday into Sunday night, which
may require high wind highlights. Will continue to monitor this.
With the warm ground temperatures, am expecting snow to melt for
a while before accumulating at lower elevations. However, snow
should accumulate long enough in the mountains to warrant winter
weather highlights. The most persistent snowfall/winds will be
along the Rocky Mountain Front above 5000 feet, so have issued a
Winter Storm Warning for there from this evening through Monday
morning. The initial surge of moisture in southwest Montana will
bring lesser amounts of snow to the mountains, so have only gone
with a Winter Weather Advisory there for the same time period.
Snow will be slower to develop in the mountains of central
Montana, but similarly lesser amounts are expected, so also have
an Advisory for there, but beginning at midnight tonight.
Temperatures across the area will generally fall through the day
on Monday as the system exits the area and snow decreases.

Monday Night through Saturday...Medium range period will begin
with the upper level low pressure trough moving east of Montana
as a ridge builds into the northern Rockies. The ridge will bring
a short period of mostly dry conditions for Tuesday before the
next trough moves inland along the west coast on Wednesday. This
next system is expected to be deeper and stronger than Sunday's
system and model differences continue to lend low confidence to
the forecast for Wednesday and beyond. It remains possible that
much of the energy and moisture associated with this system could
end up moving well south of the state. However, at this time, it
appears that precipitation chances will increase over western
Montana on Wednesday and central Montana Wednesday night. A
surface cold front will likely push south out of Canada Wednesday
night as well, with a seasonably cool airmass and good chance of
precipitation settling over the state on Thursday. For Thursday
night through Saturday models show that the upper trough finally
splits with the main bulk of energy lingering over the desert
southwest while the northern branch moves east of Montana and a
west-northwest flow aloft sets up over the state. For now will
keep isolated to scattered pops over the mountains for this
period while the plains remain mostly dry. Temperatures will once
again warm to near or above seasonable averages by Saturday. mpj

.AVIATION...
Updated 1127Z.
Upper level ridge will remain over the region today but will move
east overnight as a strong disturbance approaches Montana. Variable
high clouds and gusty west winds will prevail through the day with
widespread VFR conditions expected. Low and mid level clouds
increase from the west after 00Z Sunday with numerous showers and
obscurations prevailing in the western mountains through Sunday
morning. Scattered to numerous showers spread east through central
and southwest Montana after 06Z Sunday with areas IFR/MVFR
conditions possible in snow. mpj
