AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BILLINGS MT
940 AM MST THU JAN 9 2014

.UPDATE...
DESTABILIZING ASSOCIATED WITH SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH IDAHO ALONG
WITH PRESSURE FALLS TO OUR SOUTHWEST HAVE ALLOWED FOR GAP WINDS
TO DECREASE AT LIVINGSTON EARLY THIS MORNING...AND HAVE ALREADY
CANCELLED THE WIND ADVISORY. WILL MAKE NO CHANGES TO THE REMAINING
HIGH WIND WATCHES IN EFFECT BEGINNING 12Z FRIDAY. PRELIMINARY
THOUGHTS ARE THAT 60-65 MPH PREFRONTAL GUSTS WILL BE FELT AT
LIVINGSTON AND THE BEARTOOTH FOOTHILLS LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY.
AS FOR WHEATLAND COUNTY...COULD TAP INTO THE 50-60 KT MID LEVEL
FLOW AS SUBSIDENCE SPREADS IN BEHIND NEXT SHORTWAVE FRIDAY
MORNING. WILL TAKE A LOOK AT 12Z MODEL RUNS HERE. OTHERWISE...
IDAHO SHORTWAVE IS PRODUCING SOME SNOW UP IN THE BEARTOOTHS WITH A
COUPLE INCHES SHOWING ON THE COOKE CITY WEB CAMERA...AND UP TO 5-6
INCHES AT FISHER CREEK SNOTEL. IT APPEARS THAT ASCENT WILL PEAK
AROUND 18Z AND THEN DIMINISH WAS ENERGY PUSHES TO THE SOUTHEAST.
NW FLOW UPSLOPE AREAS FURTHER EAST WILL SEE SOME RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS
LATER TODAY...IE LOCATIONS SE OF BILLINGS...INCLUDING THE BIG HORN
MTNS WITH A COUPLE INCHES OF SNOW.

JKL

&&

.SHORT TERM...VALID FOR TDY AND FRI...

A STRONG N TO S ORIENTED JET WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
DURING THE SHORT-TERM PERIOD BRINGING PERIODS OF WINDY CONDITIONS
AND SOME MOUNTAIN SNOW. MODELS WERE SIMILAR SO WENT WITH A
COMPROMISE BETWEEN THEM AT TIMES FOR THE FORECAST. FOR TODAY...SO
FAR THE ADVISORY AT KLVM AND NYE HAS NOT VERIFIED...BUT E KLVM WAS
CLOSE TO HITTING SUSTAINED WINDS AT 40 MPH. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
WAS NOT OVERLY STRONG EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT PRESSURES WERE
FALLING ACROSS THE AREA WHICH SHOULD HELP TO STRENGTHEN THE LEE
TROUGH. 700 MB WINDS WERE NOT OVERLY STRONG SO WOULD EXPECT JUST A
WEAK ADVISORY EVENT THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING AND WILL NOT MAKE
ANY CHANGES TO THE ADVISORY.

A STRONG SHORTWAVE OVER THE PACIFIC NW ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY WILL
DIVE SE INTO WY TODAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING MOUNTAIN SNOW TO THE
BEARTOOTHS/ABSAROKAS WITH A LOW CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION TO THE
PLAINS. HAVE RAISED MOUNTAIN POPS FURTHER AND EXPECT SEVERAL
INCHES OF SNOW DUE TO GOOD DENDRITIC GROWTH. HOWEVER PERIOD OF
SNOWFALL WILL BE SHORT-LIVED DUE TO FAST MOVING WAVE. EXPECT GUSTY
WINDS FROM KBIL W THROUGH THE DAY DUE TO A TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT.

SHORTWAVES WILL CONTINUE TO CROSS THE AREA TONIGHT INTO FRI
EVENING BEFORE UPPER RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE AREA. THERE WILL ALSO
BE JET DIVERGENCE THROUGH THIS TIME FRAME. A LEE TROUGH WILL
STRENGTHEN OVER THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AS 50 TO 60 KT 700 MB WINDS
MOVE INTO THE REGION. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BECOME ORIENTED
MORE SW TO NE ON FRI. AIRMASS WILL DESTABILIZE DURING THE DAY SO A
GAP WIND EVENT WILL TURN INTO A MIXING EVENT FAVORING MUCH OF THE
WESTERN ZONES...WITH GUSTY WINDS SPREADING E INTO KBIL. THE HIGH
WIND WATCH FOR THE W WAS IN GOOD SHAPE FOR LATE THU NIGHT AND
FRI. THE LIKELIHOOD OF MOUNTAIN SNOW WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT INTO
FRI. LOW POPS ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA WERE IN GOOD SHAPE
ON FRI. PACIFIC MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE STREAMING INTO THE
MOUNTAINS FRI NIGHT BUT THE PLAINS WILL BE DRY. THE WINDS WILL
DIMINISH A BIT FRI NIGHT UNDER THE RIDGE...BUT ANOTHER ROUND OF
50-60 KT 700 MB WINDS WILL ARRIVE BY 12Z SAT...INDUCING A STRONG
LEE TROUGH. EXPECT THE GAP FLOW WINDS TO PICK UP TO HIGH WIND
STRENGTH LATE FRI NIGHT. THE HIGH WIND WATCH COVERED THIS
SITUATION WELL.

RAISED TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES TODAY AND FRI BASED ON THE NEW
MAV GUIDANCE WHICH LOOKED REASONABLE AND FIT THE LATEST
TEMPERATURE TRENDS. ARTHUR

.LONG TERM...VALID FOR SAT...SUN...MON...TUE...WED...

MODEL AGREEMENT REMAINS GOOD THROUGH TUESDAY PUSHING CONFIDENCE
HIGHER IN A PROLONGED WINDY PERIOD FROM SATURDAY INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. PERIODS OF POTENTIALLY VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED
FOR WESTERN ZONES DURING THIS TIME FRAME. GUSTS OVER 75 MPH ARE
POSSIBLE FOR LIVINGSTON...BIG TIMBER AND NYE WITH GUSTS OVER 60
MPH FOR HARLOWTON. THE PLAINS WILL ALSO SEE PERIODS OF VERY GUSTY
WINDS AND ITS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT ADDITIONAL WIND
HIGHLITES WILL BE NEEDED FOR SOME AREAS THIS WEEKEND. DOWNSLOPE
WINDS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES AT OR ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR WITH 30S AND 40S PREDOMINANT FOR HIGHS EACH DAY. PRECIPITATION
CHANCES REMAIN MARGINAL FOR LOWER ELEVATIONS GIVEN THE
AFOREMENTIONED STRONG DOWNSLOPE WINDS. HOWEVER WEST FACING
MOUNTAIN SLOPES WILL SEE NEARLY CONTINUOUS SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY AS
STRONG FETCH OF PACIFIC MOISTURE MOVES OVER THE AREA THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK. CURRENTLY DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ANY WINTER HIGHLITES WILL
BE NEEDED BUT 3 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE EACH DAY SATURDAY
THROUGH MONDAY. PRECIPITATION TYPE MAY ALSO BE A TRICKY ISSUE FOR
