Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service GLASGOW MT
235 PM MST Sat Dec 24 2016

.SHORT TERM...for northeast Montana...tonight through Mon...
The holiday weekend winter storm begins today with intermittent
light to moderate snow across northeast Montana which will
increase in coverage and intensity late this evening and
overnight. This will continue throughout the day Sunday, but
expect periods of heavier snow...particularly during the early
morning hours over northern and western portions of our area, and
further east Sunday afternoon and overnight. Through Monday
morning, most of northeast Montana can expect between 2 to 5
inches of snow...the exception being along the North Dakota
border, which could see more, between 6 and 9 inches by Monday
morning.

Winds will be out of the east through midnight...becoming north
on Sunday. Sustained winds will mainly be at 15 to 25 mph with
gusts to 35 mph over most of the area. Latest 12Z model consensus
shows the low intensifying as it moves northeast through the
Dakotas late Sunday and early Monday, and winds along the North
Dakota border will increase some due to that. Blowing snow is a
concern, especially as winds increase along with heavier snowfall
to the east Sunday afternoon. As it stands now, the current winter
storm advisories/warnings look sufficient. Winds don't look to be
quite intense enough to warrant anything stronger, but will
continue to monitor this as the situation develops.

As the system clears out of the area, expect to see very cold
wind chills Monday morning. Most of the area will see wind chills
in the teens below zero, with higher elevations and low valleys
potentially seeing wind chills less than 20 below. Hickford

.LONG TERM...Mon night through Sat...

Forecast is still in great shape from this morning, and no major
updates were needed for the afternoon update today.

Bigelbach

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION: A shortwave trough Monday Night with a warm
front is quickly followed by a shortwave ridge on Tuesday morning
in nearly zonal flow aloft. With limited moisture, expect no
precipitation with the wave Monday Night. Look for much warmer
temperatures on Tuesday as Arctic air mass moves to the east.

An upper trough moves through the area Tuesday Night with a cold
front that will bring gusty west winds and little chance for snow.
The gusty west winds will continue on Wednesday and may cause some
of the snow received over the weekend to drift if it is still
loose.

Northwest flow aloft will prevail on Thursday as the upper trough
moves to the east and a ridge moves into the Pacific Coast. Look
for dry weather with near normal temperatures as surface high
pressure will be over the area.

Models are pointing towards a cold front either Friday afternoon
or night as an upper trough drops south from Canada. GFS is more
generous than the ECMWF with the moisture and precipitation at
this point. Will mention a chance of snow for now. Colder
temperatures are expected on Saturday. Forrester

&&

.AVIATION...

There will be a mix of IFR and MVFR ceilings tonight and Sunday.
Ceiling will be 1500 feet AGL or less most of the time. Higher
terrain will be obscured at times. Widespread snow will move into
the area from west to east this evening and continue all day
Sunday. Blowing snow is also expected.

ENE winds will be 10 to 20 knots tonight and northeast on Sunday.
