AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
1133 AM MDT Tue Jun 17 2014

UPDATED AVIATION SECTION

.UPDATE...
Updated forecast is out. Rain...heavy at times...will continue to
affect much of North Central MT this morning/early this
afternoon...as an upper level low continues to slowly spin over
South Central MT. The heaviest rainfall is expected along the
front range of the Rockies. Snow is expected above 6500 feet or so
as well. Further south...snow levels were quite low this
morning...as low as 5500 feet or so...with some accumulations in
the Butte...Monida Pass and MacDonald Pass area. The snow is
changing back to rain as the intensity lets up a bit. The
convective temperature for today is quite low...thus with any
clearing...expect showers/thunderstorms to redevelop. The best
chance for any strong/severe storms should be in Blaine/Fergus
counties. The chances for precip for tonight thru Wednesday look
to be fairly high...and pops will likely be raised for many areas
on the afternoon forecast...along with QPF amounts. Brusda

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 1733Z.
A slow moving upper level low pressure will bring periods of
widespread clouds/precipitation to the area through Wednesday.
Expect improving conditions to VFR from south to north this
afternoon as the first wave of precipitation pushes out of the area
into Alberta. Another round of precipitation is expected to move
into the area Wednesday morning but models all disagree on timing
and placement.  Due to the spread in model solutions will hint at
worsening conditions but keep all locations VFR at this time.
Mountains will continue to be obscured through the forecast period.
Fog may form in the Helena valley during the early morning hours.
Langlieb

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Updated 1000 AM Tuesday.
A flood watch remains in effect until Thursday afternoon for the
all of Rocky Mountain Front as well as Eastern
Glacier...Toole...and Liberty counties. A strong spring storm
system will bring periods of heavy rain to the area which could
produce flooding of small streams and creeks. Latest forecast
models prog widespread liquid amounts of 1 to 3 inches over the
plains and 3 to 6 inches in mountains...with isolated higher
amounts. Thus the potential for flooding is increasing along the
front range of the Rockies and adjacent foothills.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 532 AM MDT Tue Jun 17 2014/

..Locally heavy rainfall and mountain snow expected through
Wednesday night...

Today through Thursday...A broad, unseasonably strong upper-level
trough of low pressure continues to track into the Northern Rockies
with widespread precipitation anticipated through Wednesday night.
The heaviest precipitation will be focused along eastern slopes of
the Continental Divide, Rocky Mountain Front and Hi-Line where ample
moisture exists due to the combination of both Pacific and Gulf of
Mexico moisture wrapping into this storm system. Storm total liquid
precipitation amounts in these areas will range from 3 to 5 inches
and a Flood Watch for small streams and creeks remains in effect for
the Rocky Mountain Front, eastern Glacier, Toole and Liberty
counties. There is also a potential for mudslides and debris flows
in higher terrain.

Additionally, cool, Canadian air will allow snow levels to lower to
around 6500 feet leading to heavy, wet snowfall of 12 to 24 inches
in the mountains along the Rocky Mountain Front and Glacier National
Park. A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect through Wednesday
morning. Snowfall is also expected in the mountains across central
and southwest Montana, mainly for elevations above 7500 feet where 3
to 6 inches of snowfall is possible.

As a dry slot moves over the central plains and southwest valleys
this afternoon and evening, precipitation amounts will be less with
a few breaks of sunshine possible as well. Once the low shifts into
eastern Montana on Wednesday, moisture wrapping on the western side
of the upper low will bring another period of widespread
precipitation through Wednesday night. Storm total rainfall across
the central plains will range 1 to 2 inches with up to 1 inch in the
southwest valleys today through Wednesday night. Isolated
thunderstorms are possible during this time period as well. Though
forecast models have been consistent in the track of this low and
the area of heaviest precipitation, there are still some differences
in specific precipitation amounts. If the track of this low changes
from the current forecast, precipitation amounts and coverage would
also change. High temperatures today and Wednesday will be 10 to 20
degrees below seasonal averages.

Unsettled conditions will continue into Thursday, however
precipitation will gradually taper from west to east as the
upper-level shifts further north and east. Temperatures will also
return closer to seasonal averages. MLV

Thursday night through Tuesday...The upper level low pressure center
will be over the Canadian border in Eastern Montana Thursday night.
With the surface low over southern Saskatchewan, Central Montana
will continue to be under wrap-around flow. However, moisture will
generally remain north of the Canadian border, the winds will be
more westerly, and the air mass will continue to dry. A weak ridge
aloft will move over the region Friday and the air mass will
continue to warm with temperatures again moving above normals. The
ridge will have moved east of the zones by Saturday and Central
Montana will be underneath unsettled, southwest flow aloft. This
will begin a period of of increasing instability through Tuesday in
which afternoon convection will develop each day. After moving above
normals on Friday, max temperatures will rise to 5 to 10 degrees
above normals through the rest of the period. Zelzer
