Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Great Falls MT
323 AM MST Wed Dec 14 2016

...Winter Storm To Impact Parts of Central and Southwest Montana
Tonight through Friday...

.DISCUSSION...

Wednesday through Friday...1035mb high pressure overhead combined
with generally clear skies has allowed temperatures to drop below
zero across much of central Montana early this morning. These
temperatures combined with a westerly wind of 5-10 mph continues to
lead to widespread wind chill values of -20 to -30. For this reason,
will keep the current Wind Chill Advisory in effect through this
morning for much of central Montana. Across SW MT, temperatures have
not dropped off as much due to increasing mid/high clouds ahead of
the next storm system.

Speaking of which, here is our latest thinking on the upcoming
winter storm that will impact much of central/Southwest Montana.
Water vapor shows moisture streaming into the Pac NW at this time as
a 100kt+ jet noses into the region on the base of an upper level low
over the northern Pacific. This upper low will open up allowing a
highly amplified/positively-tilted trough to move through the
western US. Ahead of this trough, a mid-level warm front will surge
NE through the northern Rockies.

The models indicate good WAA/isentropic lift associated with this
warm front and this should lead to light to occasionally moderate
snow breaking out from SW to NE across our entire CWA later this
evening through Thursday morning, probably reaching the Hi-Line by
around sunrise Thursday. In the wake of the warm front, the models
indicate a band of heavier snow may develop across parts of the
area, likely due in part to 700mb frontogenesis north of an embedded
s/w moving through the area. It remains unclear where exactly this
band will setup, but the most likely location is across SW MT.
Within this band, heavier snowfall rates/amounts are likely.
For this reason, then, thinking the best lift and highest confidence
regarding snowfall totals is across SW MT where we will be upgrading
the Winter Storm Watch to a Winter Storm Warning. Across southern
sections of central Montana, we will keep the Winter Storm Watch as
is for now due to the somewhat lower confidence on where the heavier
snowfall totals and highest impacts will be. It is likely, though,
that much of the watch area will be upgraded to a Winter Weather
Advisory or Warning for the event.

It should be noted that across SW MT, precipitable water values may
exceed 2-3 std deviations above the mean (ie. seasonally high
moisture content). This increases confidence in the highest totals
being in that area. As for amounts, then, we are expecting a
widespread 4-8" across SW MT valleys with 2-5" across the plains of
central Montana. Many mountain locations, especially the central/SW
mountains, could see up to a foot or more. Isolated higher amounts
will be possible at lower elevations if any mesoscale banding can
setup. Lastly, with the warm air surging into the area, there is the
possibility of some freezing rain or plain rain for a short time
across parts of SW MT, but confidence in this occurring is low at
this time.

In the wake of the system, another push of Arctic air is expected
with temperatures potentially reaching even colder values that what
has been experienced over the last several days. With higher winds
in the wake of the system, it is likely that Wind Chill Advisories
will once again be needed. Martin

Friday night through Wednesday...As the late week storm system moves
out of the region it will leave Montana beneath a very cold 1030+
millibar high pressure system Friday night. Clear skies and fresh
snow will combine with the frigid airmass to allow some of the
coldest overnight lows of the winter season (so far). However, this
shot of cold air will not linger over the region too long. As the
upper level trough sweeps eastward through Canada, the surface high
pressure system will rapidly exit the state to the southeast
allowing a trough of surface low pressure to develop east of the
Continental Divide for increasingly strong downslope winds through
the weekend. The combination of Chinook winds and increasing
atmospheric thickness values will allow temperatures to warm back
towards seasonal averages for the early portion of next week with
generally dry conditions expected over the plains. Model solutions
diverge significantly for Tuesday and Wednesday with the GFS
maintaining a fast zonal flow aloft and the ECMWF attempting to
carve out a new trough over the Northern Rocky Mountain region. For
now have kept temperatures near seasonal averages but have
introduced PoPs that are closer to the climatological normal. mpj.

Updated 0530Z.
Overall...VFR conditions are expected most areas overnight...with
the exception of some patchy fog along the Missouri River and
possibly in the Helena valley. Light snow will develop near the
