AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
400 AM MST Sun Nov 9 2014

...A major change in the weather pattern begins this evening...

.DISCUSSION...
Today through Tuesday...A weak Canadian cold front has slipped
south of the US/Canadian border this morning...and is located just
south of Highway 2 at 4 AM. This boundary will not move too much
further south through the morning hours. However...a stronger
Canadian cold front will move southward into North Central MT by
mid afternoon. Much colder air will usher in behind this second
cold front. Temperatures are currently below zero in northern
Alberta...and that colder air will move into North Central MT
during the day on Monday. Temperatures on Monday are likely to
fall through much of the day...with overnight lows below zero by
Tuesday morning over much of North Central MT. It remains cold
during the day Tuesday...with high temperatures mostly in the
single digits above zero. Wind chills will be well below
zero...near 30 below at times...and wind chill highlights may be
needed later in the week.

Highlights: The high wind warning remains in place. The strongest
winds should occur this morning into early this afternoon.

The winter storm watch has been modified. Snow is falling this
morning over northern Hill/Blaine counties...and this area has
been changed to a winter storm warning. For the remainder of North
Central MT...a winter storm warning is generally in effect for
areas above 5000 feet with an advisory below 5000 feet. The
winter storm watch has been dropped for the Helena valley.

Overall the main frontal passage timing this afternoon looks on
track with previous days. Snowfall amounts also are on track with
previous forecasts. The main flash freeze potential will be over
Central/North Central MT tonight.

No highlights are in effect for Southwest MT at this time as lower
elevations are forecasted to receive 1 to 3 inches of snow.
Day shift will decide if highlights are necessary for this region.
Brusda

Tuesday Night through Sunday...Look for predominantly dry and chilly
conditions during this period.  Isolated snow showers will
linger over the Hi-line and central counties on Tues night as the
second Canadian upper-level trof exits into eastern MT, but little
additional snowfall is expected. For much of the region, the coldest
temperatures of the whole period will occur Wed morning as lows
bottom out in the single digits and teens below zero.  Depending on
the amount of snow cover, the gradually clearing skies overnight
Tues may allow a few locations to reach -15 to -20 degrees. The cold
airmass remains in place on Wed/Thurs, but begins to slowly erode
from south-to-north on Fri as a weak trof along the WA/OR coast will
turn winds aloft more southerly.  Latest forecast models have come
into better agreement that the northern edge of an accompanying
swath of Pacific moisture will bring increased cloud cover and some
spotty, light snow showers over southwest MT from Thurs eve through
Fri aftn, while rest of the region remains dry. The moisture is
pushed into ID/WY Fri night as another Canadian shortwave trof
sweeps through MT.  Main impact of this system will be to briefly
slow temperature recovery along/north of a Helena-to-Lewistown line,
as highs there only reach the teens and mid 20s on Fri, while lower
elevation sites in southwest MT finally make it back above freezing.
No precipitation is forecast for next weekend, and temps will
continue to slowly inch upward, with upper 20s to low 30s expected
by Sunday.

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 0535Z.
The period will start off with VFR conditions but there continues to
be quite a bit of uncertainty about how precipitation will play out
later tonight and also on Sunday not only with timing but also with
the type of precipitation. And along with this there is quite a bit
of uncertainty with regard to both ceilings and visibilities late
tonight and Sunday. So the upshot of this is it is a low confidence
forecast after midnight through Sunday over the plains. On the other
hand am confident that southwest Montana will have VFR conditions
into Sunday afternoon though there could be some obscurement of
higher mountains in snow showers Sunday afternoon. Do have fairly
high confidence that there will be widespread IFR conditions in snow
Sunday evening over the plains and of course there will be
mountain/pass obscurement. Southwest Montana valleys should see
MVFR/IFR conditions in snow develop Sunday evening along with
widespread mountain obscurement. As for winds a northwest-southeast
oriented cold front is expected to move into KHVR and KCTB shortly
after midnight then pass through KGTF and KLWT around 12z give or
take a couple of hours. Then by 00z Monday the front should be near
a KHLN-KLVM line. Winds should shift to the north to northeast
behind this front but be less than 10 knots. A stronger cold front
will move into the north Sunday afternoon then spread through
southwest Montana Sunday evening. Could see northerly wind gusts as
high as 40-45 knots over northwest portions east of the Continental
Divide late Sunday afternoon/early Sunday evening. Blank
