AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
1135 AM MDT Sun Mar 17 2013

AVIATION SECTION UPDATED

.UPDATE...
Current forecast is on track...with no significant changes. Snow
continues to overspread much of North Central MT this
morning...but the snowfall is more
convective/showery/numerous...rather than a steady/widespread
snowfall. Thus snow accumulations will vary greatly over short
ranges today. Some heavier snow showers will produce a quick inch
of snow...but 10 miles away just some flurries. Also...numerous
wind gusts ranging from 35 to 45 mph are expected...especially
in/near heavier snow showers. Thus the winter weather highlights
will continue. Most areas had their forecasted high already...thus
most areas will have slowly falling temperatures through the
remainder of today. A summary PNS has been sent with snow totals
so far. Brusda

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1735Z.
Upper level trof continues to work its way across MT this aftn/eve
with mix of VFR to IFR conditions and areas of light snow. Some
brief LIFR visibilities are also possible with any moderate snow
showers. Surface cold front is already east of KHVR/KLWT as of 1730Z
but associated pressure gradient will keep winds breezy to gusty
with peak winds reaching 25-35 kts over much of the region into
early eve.  Expect conditions to gradually improve back to VFR, with
ceilings generally FL040-FL100 after 04-06Z, as this weather system
pushes into ern MT.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 405 AM MDT Sun Mar 17 2013/

Today through Tuesday...A rather dynamic weather pattern will
impact the area today. An upper trof will cross the Continental
Divide this morning and continue to push east. Snow showers will
increase across the area this morning with the trof passage but
the westerly winds aloft will limit snow amounts due to
downsloping. A Canadian cold front will move south of the border
this morning and reach Great Falls around 18z. This will result in
overrunning snow as the winds shift to a more northerly direction.
Overall snow amounts continue to look to be 2 inches or less for
most of the plains and generally 3 to 6 inches in the mountains.
The gusty winds will result in areas of blowing snow. Will allow
current highlights to continue. Snow will gradually taper off
tonight but the northwest flow aloft will continue to see
shortwave impulses move with the flow and allow scattered snow
showers to continue on Monday. High pressure builds back over the
area Tuesday bringing drier conditions. Temperatures will begin a
slow warming trend Monday but readings will remain below seasonal
averages through the period. Emanuel

Tuesday Night through Saturday...Shortwave ridging over the region
for Tuesday ahead of the next system approaching from the west.
Models remain in good agreement with moisture beginning to enter
Montana from the west Tuesday night with showers developing first
over Southwest Montana early Wednesday with chances for
precipitation spreading to Central and North Central Montana by
Wednesday afternoon. Chances for precipitation and accumulating
mountain snow look to remain over most of the area into Thursday
as this system slowly moves over Montana. Precipitation over the
plains of North Central Montana looks to still be showery with the
mountains getting the brunt of any precipitation. Precipitation
looks to taper off Thursday night with only a few scattered
showers lingering over terrain by mid-day Friday. Models bring a
generally northwesterly flow and some isolated mountain showers
into the region for Saturday but there is not much agreement on
this. Scattered periods of gusty westerly winds will also be seen
through the extended forecast period as flow remains generally
west to northwest in nature. High temperatures throughout the long
term generally will be in the mid to upper 40s over the plains
with mid 20s to mid 30s in the mountains. Low temperatures will
generally be in the 20s to 30s with teens possible in cold
Southwest Montana valleys.
