AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
410 AM MDT Sun Mar 9 2014

.DISCUSSION...

Today through Tuesday...A very busy short term period is on hand
for much of the forecast area. High wind warnings in place across
the region will be allowed to continue, although models do not
look as favorable for portions of the plains as they did
yesterday. Winds will diminish across the entire area this evening
and attention will shift to the southwest and central portions of
the forecast area as an upper wave sweeps through the Pacific
Northwest and into the Northern Rockies on Monday. Models continue
to shower respectable precipitation amounts across southwest
Montana for late tonight through early Tuesday. As such, the high
pops in this region continue to look bad. The major challenge for
this forecast will hinge on temperatures and snow levels. I feel
the previous forecast vastly overestimated snow amounts at lower
elevations since temperatures will remain relatively warm across
the region. Despite this, it does appear quite favorable for
warning criteria snow amounts at pass level and above at Kings
Hill Pass, Big Hole Pass, Chief Joseph Pass and Targhee Pass. The
remainder of the southwest and central portion of the
state...including passes not mentioned above...will likely see only
advisory snow amounts or no snow at all. By Tuesday morning the
upper level wave will begin to dig southward as another upper
ridge builds over the Pacific Northwest allowing conditions to
improve across the forecast area. After relatively warm
temperatures today, Monday and Tuesday can expect to see
temperatures that are closer to seasonal averages. mpj

Tuesday night through Sunday...Medium range models are in fair
agreement through next weekend, depicting a progressive westerly
flow aloft over western North America, generally dominated by
ridging over western North America. An upper level ridge over the
interior western US Tuesday night through Wednesday will keep the
region dry with temperatures near to somewhat above seasonal
averages. On Thursday, a fast moving shortwave trough moves east
along the US/Canadian border, bringing increased winds to the
forecast area while most(if any) precipitation should remain north
of the border. Another period of upper level ridging moves in behind
the shortwave on Friday before a somewhat stronger wave moves
onshore in southern BC then digs SE through the Northern Rockies and
MT on Saturday. This system looks to bring another period of
stronger winds as well as a wind shift to the NW and cooler
temperatures along with a period of snow showers Friday night into
Saturday. Drier conditions look to move in again Saturday night
through Sunday as another upper level ridge builds over the Northern
Rockies. Hoenisch

&&

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 0451Z.
Strong west winds aloft are moving through the high pressure ridge
over Montana and surface winds will remain brisk and gusty. A low
pressure disturbance will approach the West Coast Sunday and
moisture ahead of this system will move across the Rockies.
Precipitation will generally be limited to the western mountains
through Sunday. MVFR/IFR conditions with mountain obscuration are
possible across the Rockies, elsewhere VFR conditions will prevail
through the next 24 hours.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Snowmelt runoff will continue to contribute to lowland flooding in
areas of poor drainage across much of central and southwest MT. As
temperatures warm significantly through the weekend, Snowmelt
will likely increase across additional areas of north central and
southwest Montana. Another round of precipitation Monday followed
by a warm-up midweek, could produce widespread flooding.
