AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
1021 AM MST Wed Feb 12 2014

.UPDATE...
Updated forecast is out. Strong winds continue to develop over
North Central MT...with several locations along the front range of
the Rockies gusting between 50 and 60 mph already.
Additionally...falling/blowing snow will be a problem in the East
Glacier Park region through the day. Sustained winds near 40 mph
have developed across portions of Madison County and this area has
also been added to the high wind warning. Temperatures look on
track. Even though temperatures are currently in the single digits
in the Havre area...the warm up should push up into this region
quickly this afternoon. The rest of the forecast is on track.
Brusda

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1200Z.
An upper-level trough of low pressure with ample Pacific moisture
will move across the Treasure State today. While the bulk of the
moisture will remain along the Continental Divide and southwest
Montana, a period of rain and/or snow showers are possible later
this morning through early afternoon at all TAF sites. Though
conditions will primarily be VFR over the next 24 hours, intrusions
of MVFR conditions are possible in and near areas of precipitation.
In addition, strong downslope winds will develop over the plains by
early this afternoon with wind gusts between 40kts and 50kts at
KCTB...KHVR...KLWT AND KGTF terminals. Mountains will remain
obscured through the forecast period. MLV

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 455 AM MST Wed Feb 12 2014/

Today through Friday...Forecast area will remain beneath a fast,
moist and very active westerly flow aloft through the short term
period. Occasional disturbances in the upper levels will move over
the region at times and combine with a persistent orographic lift
over the Continental Divide to provide widespread snow and blowing
snow over the mountains of the Rocky Mountain Front. Occasional
showers will move out over the plains but will have to contend
against strong downslope winds today through Thursday. The High
Wind Warning remains in place as very windy conditions continue
to appear very likely, especially during the afternoons. Winds
diminish Thursday night and Friday allowing a better chance for
precipitation to move out over the plains. mpj

Friday night through Wednesday...Moist and unsettled westerly flow
aloft will keep increased precipitation chances along the
Continental Divide and southwest Montana with above average
temperatures and periods of strong winds along the Rocky Mountain
Front and adjacent plains. As a strong upper-level shortwave trough
moves over the Northern Rockies Friday night, accumulating mountain
snowfall for elevations above 5000 feet is likely with snowfall
amounts of 2 to 5 inches possible. Impacts to travel over mountain
passes will be possible during this period and winter weather
highlights may be needed. In the southwest valleys, mainly along and
south of a line from Helena to White Sulphur Springs, light snow is
also possible though snowfall amounts of less than one inch are
expected. While there may be an isolated rain or snow shower across
the north-central plains, westerly downslope winds should keep most
of the area dry.

A building ridge of high pressure will yield drier conditions on
Saturday before another Pacific shortwave trough and associated
surface cold front arrive on Sunday. With ample Pacific moisture and
colder air moving into the the Treasure State, accumulating mountain
snowfall is likely in the mountains above 5000 feet with a mix of
rain and snow possible across lower elevations along the cold front.
Behind the frontal passage, strong downslope winds will develop over
the Rocky Mountain Front and adjacent plains. Drier conditions will
return by early next week, with only a slight chance for snow
showers in Glacier National Park. Temperatures will be 5 to 10
degrees above seasonal averages through the period.

Long-range models suggest that a broad upper-level trough could
develop over the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies by the
middle of next week with the potential for widespread precipitation
and colder temperatures across the forecast area. MLV
