WESTERN LIVINGSTON DOT IS GUSTING TO THE MID 40S...AND THIS IS
CONSISTENT WITH A SFC TROF OVER CENTRAL MT AND A VERY BACKED
GRADIENT. WINDS AT LIVINGSTON SHOULD PICK UP SOME THROUGH THE
NIGHT AS MTN TOP FLOW INCREASES...BUT SHOULD STAY UNDER ADVISORY
CRITERIA TIL TOMORROW. THURSDAY WILL BE VERY MILD ESPECIALLY IN
OUR EAST WITH PREFRONTAL WARMING. DAILY RECORDS FOR FEBRUARY 18TH
WILL BE APPROACHED AT ALL FOUR OF OUR OFFICIAL CLIMATE SITES. WITH
THE HELP OF DEEPLY MIXED SW WINDS IN THE LEE OF THE BIGHORNS...
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SHERIDAN PUSH 70 DEGREES WITH ENOUGH
SUN BREAKS. FRONT ARRIVES WITH PLENTY OF WIND IN THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. JKL

&&

.SHORT TERM...VALID FOR THU AND FRI...

THE WEATHER WILL BECOME MUCH MORE ACTIVE AGAIN ACROSS THE AREA
AND THIS ACTIVITY WILL INVOLVE STRONG WINDS. A BROAD TROUGH WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY AND SEND A COLD FRONT THROUGH. LAPSE
RATES AROUND 7.5C/KM WILL COMBINE WITH STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE
RISES AND 700MB WINDS TO 65KTS TO DRIVE STRONG WINDS TO THE
SURFACE OVER WESTERN ZONES THURSDAY AFTERNOON...AND INTO THE
CENTRAL ZONES LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WIND GUSTS TO
60 MPH ARE POSSIBLE. THESE STRONG WINDS WILL MOVE INTO THE
SOUTHEAST FRIDAY MORNING. THE SOUTHEAST WILL BE TRICKY AS THE
NIGHT TIME AND EARLY MORNING HOURS ARE NOT IDEAL CLIMATOLOGICAL
TIMES...BUT ENOUGH WIND JUST OFF THE SURFACE AND SURFACE GRADIENT
TO BE CONCERNED. WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE AREA
FOR THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. WILL ALSO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE
LIVINGSTON AND NYE AREAS. WINDS WILL DECREASE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.

A QUICK SHOT OF SNOW WILL MOVE INTO THE MOUNTAINS LATE TONIGHT
AND THURSDAY. SNOW RATES WILL BE HIGH WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES...BUT
A WARM SYSTEM MAY LIMIT ACCUMULATION. THAT BEING SAID...WOULD
EXPECT A QUICK 3-6 INCHES OF SNOWFALL NEAR THE MOUNTAINS AROUND
COOKE CITY. STRONG DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL LIMIT PRECIPITAN CHANCES
OVER MUCH OF THE CENTRAL ZONES...BUT ENOUGH ASCENT AND INSTABILITY
TO WARRANT SCATTERED POPS FOR THURSDAY NIGHT...BEGINNING OVER THE
WEST LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON. HIGHER POPS WILL SPREAD INTO THE
EAST THURSDAY NIGHT WITH THE COLD FRONT. FRIDAY SHOULD BE A MAINLY
DRY DAY...WITH LINGERING LOW POPS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. TWH

.LONG TERM...VALID FOR SAT...SUN...MON...TUE...WED...

THE PROGRESSIVE FLOW WILL STILL PREVAIL IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD
WHICH BEGINS ON SAT. THE GFS ENSEMBLES CONTINUED TO SHOW
INCREASING SPREAD BEGINNING ON SUN AND THE ECMWF ENSEMBLES
CONTINUED TO SHOW UNCERTAINTY THROUGH PORTIONS OF THE PERIOD. THUS
THE FORECAST CONFIDENCE ON DETAILS IS NOT VERY HIGH.

MODELS AGREED THAT A SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION ON SAT
BUT HANDLED THE WAVE DIFFERENTLY. THE WAVE WILL PUSH A PACIFIC
COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA. QPF AMOUNTS VARIED DRASTICALLY
AMONGST THE MODELS...BUT IN GENERAL THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS W AND CENTRAL IN THE MORNING AND A CHANCE EVERYWHERE IN
THE AFTERNOON. STRONG DOWNSLOPE FLOW MAY LIMIT
PRECIPITATION...HOWEVER THERE WAS ALSO STRONG INSTABILITY SO KEPT
THE POPS OVER THE ENTIRE AREA IN THE AFTERNOON. IT WILL BECOME
QUITE WINDY BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT HIGH WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED AS
WINDS IN THE MIXING COLUMN ARE GENERALLY IN THE 40S. EXPECT HIGHS
IN THE 50S...LIKELY TOPPING OUT BEFORE LATE AFTERNOON.

THE SHORTWAVE WEAKENS AND MOVES OUT OF THE AREA SAT NIGHT THROUGH
SUN UNDER A RAPIDLY DRYING AIRMASS. LINGERED JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS OVER FALLON COUNTY SAT NIGHT. SUN WILL BE
COOLER AND NOT WINDY WITH HIGHS IN THE 40S. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL
PUSH INTO THE REGION ON MON ACCOMPANIED BY ANOTHER COLD FRONT AND
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS. THE SHOWER CHANCES DECREASE MON NIGHT AND
THEN UPPER RIDGING WITH A DRY AIRMASS BUILDS IN FOR THE END OF THE
PERIOD. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL IN THE 40S AND 50S.
