AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GLASGOW MT
930 AM MST SAT JAN 25 2014

.SHORT TERM...FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY...

SENT AN UPDATE THIS MORNING TO MAKE SMALL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
IMMEDIATE SHORT TERM GRIDS FOR TODAY. CUTTING BACK POPS TOWARD THE
EAST AS RADAR AND MODEL DATA AGREE IN SHOWING THE PRECIPITATION
SCALING BACK THAT DIRECTION MORE TODAY. ALSO FINE TUNED THE SKY
AND TEMPERATURE GRIDS REFLECTING HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN NEAR SHORT-
TERM DETAILS. BMICKELSON

PREVIOUS SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...SEVERAL FORECAST CHALLENGES
EXIST IN THE SHORT TERM PERIOD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. ANY RAIN
AND SNOW SHOWERS THIS MORNING WILL QUICKLY EXIT TO THE EAST OF THE
CWA...MAKING WAY FOR A PLEASANTLY MILD AND MAINLY DRY DAY UNDER
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION KEPT
TEMPERATURES CONSIDERABLY HIGHER OVERNIGHT THAN ANTICIPATED. A
MILDER START WILL ALSO ASSIST IN PROVIDING A RATHER NICE MID
JANUARY DAY FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TOWARDS
THE NEXT ARCTIC PUSH FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND WHICH
COULD LEAD TO A VARIETY OF IMPACTS DETAILED BELOW.

PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH VERY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY MORNING. THERMAL
PROFILES WILL INITIALLY BE WARM ENOUGH TO SUPPORT RAIN AND/OR A
MIX IN A LOT OF AREAS...BUT STRONG CAA BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
ALLOW FOR A QUICK CHANGE-OVER TO SNOW SHOWERS. MODEL OUTPUT QPF IS
CONSISTENTLY LIGHT...SO NOT LOOKING AT MUCH IN THE WAY OF
ACCUMULATIONS. MOST AREAS WILL BE LUCKY TO SEE A COATING TO A HALF
INCH...BUT A VERY ISOLATED INCH IN SOME FAVORED TERRAIN OR WHERE
MESOSCALE INFLUENCES ENHANCE PRECIPITATION IS A POTENTIAL. IN
SHORT...SNOWFALL AMOUNT WITH THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BE THE LEAST
OF CONCERNS. LATEST ECMWF SHOWS AN 850MB JET OF GREATER THAN 50
KTS ACROSS THE CWA SATURDAY NIGHT...SHIFTING EASTWARD ON SUNDAY.
BEHIND THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE...STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP...AND COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL HELP DRIVE GUSTY
WINDS DOWN TO THE SURFACE. LAPSE RATES IN NAM BUFKIT ALSO SEEM TO
SUGGEST DECENT POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS. HOWEVER...CORE OF STRONGEST
WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE MAY BE EAST OF THE CWA BY THE TIME
THE BEST CAA ARRIVES...SO THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY. DAY
SHIFT WILL HAVE TO TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH
WIND CRITERIA BEING MET AT A FEW OF THE USUAL WINDY LOCATIONS
ACROSS THE CWA...AS WELL AS THE EASTERN ZONES. RIGHT NOW...FEEL
IT WILL BE CLOSE IN SPOTS...BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO GO WITH
HEADLINES. CERTAINLY WILL RAMP UP WORDING IN THE HWO. RIGHT NOW
BROADLY EXPECT NORTHWEST WINDS SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY OF 25 TO 35
MPH WITH GUSTS TO 50 MPH. WILL EMPHASIZE ONE MORE TIME THOUGH THAT
TERRAIN FAVORED LOCATIONS...AND POTENTIALLY EASTERN PORTIONS OF
THE CWA COULD SEE EVEN HIGHER GUSTS.

ANY SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION THAT DOES OCCUR WILL EASILY BE LOFTED BY
THE GUSTY WINDS...AND THIS IN COMBINATION WITH FALLING SNOW WILL
PRODUCE IMPACTS. SNOW PRESENTLY ON THE GROUND IS CRUSTED OVER...SO
WHETHER OR NOT ENOUGH ACCUMULATION OCCURS TO CREATE TRUE BLOWING
SNOW CONDITIONS IS LESS CERTAIN. HOWEVER...VISIBILITIES WILL DROP AS
A RESULT OF FALLING SNOW...AND VISIBILITY COULD BE RESTRICTED
FURTHER IN LOCATIONS THAT DO RECEIVE ANY ACCUMULATION AT ALL. EVEN
REMOTE ACCUMULATIONS WILL LIKELY BE LOFTED. GIVEN EXPECTED
IMPACTS...WILL INSERT PATCHY BLOWING SNOW INTO THE GRIDS. IF
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL APPEARS TO BE MORE WIDESPREAD...FUTURE
SHIFTS MAY WISH TO CHANGE THE WORDING TO AREAS OR DEFINITE. FOR
NOW WILL PLAY IT CONSERVATIVELY. ANYONE WITH OUTDOOR INTERESTS
THIS WEEKEND HOWEVER WILL WANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO FORECAST
UPDATES AS AT LEAST THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A MORE WIDESPREAD
BLOWING SNOW ISSUE.

LASTLY...THE COMBINATION OF SHARPLY COLDER TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY
WINDS SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY WILL YIELD WIND CHILL
CONCERNS. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT AT LEAST THE EASTERN ZONES WILL
NEED HEADLINES. WIND CHILL WARNING CRITERIA MAY EVEN BE MET FOR A
TIME AROUND PLENTYWOOD OR MEDICINE LAKE. LESS CONFIDENCE EXISTS
FURTHER WEST WITH REGARD TO A POSSIBLE NEED FOR WIND CHILL
ADVISORY ISSUANCE WITH TEMPERATURES NOT QUITE AS COLD. MALIAWCO

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...
NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. AFTER A
COLD NIGHT MONDAY NIGHT... TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE ON TUESDAY
AS ARCTIC AIR MASS MOVES TO THE EAST.

THE UPPER RIDGE TO THE WEST WEAKENS SOMEWHAT TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY TURNING THE FLOW ALOFT INTO A WNW DIRECTION FOR THE
FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL BRING A MORE MOIST PACIFIC FLOW ALOFT
INTO THE STATE WHICH WILL OVERRUN A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT TO THE
SOUTHWEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE FORECAST
AREA MAY SEE SOME SOME FROM THIS BUT THE BEST MOISTURE AND
OVERRUNNING WILL STAY TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE FORECAST AREA.
MEANWHILE... A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IN SASKATCHEWAN WILL KEEP THE
NORTHEAST ZONES MAINLY DRY AND SOMEWHAT COLDER THAN NORMAL.

A SHORTWAVE RIDGE WILL BRING MAINLY DRY WEATHER FOR THURSDAY AND
THEN A SHORTWAVE TROUGH DROP SOUTH FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA AND
THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. NORTHEAST
MONTANA WILL CONTINUE TO BE ON THE COLDER SIDE AND AT THIS POINT
IT LOOKS LIKE THE MOISTURE WILL MAINLY STAY TO THE SOUTH AND WEST
OF THE FORECAST AREA. FORRESTER

&&

.AVIATION...
MOSTLY VFR. WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS 5 TO 10 KNOTS EARLY WILL
BECOME WEST 10 TO 20 KNOTS BY AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL TURN NORTHWEST
THIS EVENING AND INCREASE TO 15 TO 25 KNOTS. SOME LOW CLOUDS ARE
EXPECTED AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AS ARCTIC COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH
THE AREA WITH SNOW SHOWERS AND MVFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE.
