Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Great Falls MT
1050 PM MDT Sat Oct 8 2016

UPDATED AVIATION SECTION

.DISCUSSION...

The surface boundary from Cut Bank to Lewistown has been slow to
move this evening, resulting in more easterly winds and cooler
temperatures along and east of the boundary. Have therefore
lowered lows a few degrees to reflect cooling through and just
after midnight before the boundary should start moving east and
bring more of a southwest wind. Have also lowered POPs for the
overnight period with only some lingering showers in Blaine/Fergus
Counties and Meagher County that should move out of the area by
midnight. Only other adjustment was to increase winds about 5 mph
or so over the North Central Montana plains during the day on
Sunday ahead of the Canadian cold front.
Coulston

&&

.AVIATION...
Updated 0450Z.

VFR conditions are generally expected for the forecast area over the
next 24 hours, unless otherwise mentioned. The westerly flow aloft
will increase from the west as a shortwave trough moves across the
Pacific Northwest, bringing increasing mid and high level cloudiness.
This will also limit additional shower activity to the
Continental Divide and areas west through most of Sunday, as
westerly downslope winds increase. However, forecast models
indicate that a Canadian cold front will begin moving south of the
border after 20Z, which will likely shift winds more northerly from
the north between 22Z and 03Z across North Central Montana. This
will likely also bring in mountain-obscuring MVFR to possibly IFR
clouds with rain and mountain snow.  Coulston

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 630 PM MDT Sat Oct 8 2016/

Tonight through Sunday...Upper level low across BC has provided
us with somewhat moist westerly flow today. As a result many
areas have seen increase cloud cover...and warmer temperatures.
Cannot rule out a few isolated to scattered showers across
northern half of the CWA through this evening...with the best
chances coming across the Rocky Mountain Front. Precipitation
will diminish tonight...with a few lingering showers possible
across the Rocky Mountain Front. Upper level low continues to
push east across Canada for Sunday. This brings an increased
westerly flow. The result will be continued warm temperatures in
the 60s and low 70s. Gusty winds will also return to the CWA with
this increased westerly flow. Winds will be below high wind
criteria...however...40 to 50 MPH gusts will be possible along
the Rocky Mountain Front...with 30 to 40 MPH possible across the
high plains. With all the down sloping air on Sunday...mainly dry
conditions are expected...except for a few showers along the
Rocky Mountain Front.

Sunday night through Monday...Weather becomes more interesting to
end the short term. As the upper low pushes further east into
Canada...a cold front comes blasting south into the CWA.
Widespread showers are expected. Ample cold air will accompany
this front...lowering snow levels to 5000 feet initially. 850
temps further lower into the 0 to -4 C range Monday morning as
far south as Great Falls. This would indicate snow will be
possible around or below 3000 feet across the high plains in the
northern half of Montana. Currently have around a foot of snow in
the mountains...1 to 3 inches across far northern Hi-Line...and
less than an inch south to Great Falls. Confidence was high that
the Rocky Mountain Front will receive at least a foot of
snow...perhaps more if the more aggressive models come true. This
will likely impact those traveling across mountain passes...and
those with outdoor plans. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued as
a result...with the heaviest snow expected overnight Sunday night
into Monday morning. No other highlights have been issued at this
moment...however...given this may be the first impactful snow for
some areas in northern MT...advisories may be possible. Be sure
to check for the latest forecasts and winter weather products.
Cold temperatures behind the front will see high temps struggle
to get into the 40s on Monday across the north...with 50s and 60s
south. In fact...this front will bring limited impacts to
southern portions of the CWA until Monday night.
Anglin

Monday night through Saturday...As the extended forecast period
begins Monday night, a low pressure trof will be moving east of
the zones but cool, Canadian air will continue to push into the
region. The air mass will finally begin to dry from the west by
Tuesday morning. Although surface temperatures will remain 10 to
15 degrees below normals, high pressure will again build aloft
and the air mass will begin to trend warmer. Flow aloft will
remain out of the west and a weak disturbance will cross the
Rockies Thursday and Thursday night. This will bring a slight
chance of showers across the CWA although most precipitation will
be over the western mountains. A weak ridge will be back in place
over Central and Southwest Montana by late Thursday night but the
next weather system, a low pressure trof over the Eastern
Pacific, will begin to move onshore. Moisture ahead of this
system will be crossing the Rockies although the chance of
precipitation will continue to be low. The chance of
precipitation will rise again Friday night as a shortwave in the
southwest flow ahead of the low pressure trof will approach the
Rockies. Brisk southwest winds will inhibit precipitation across
the plains and the best chance for precipitation will be across
the Rockies and Southwest Montana. Temperatures begin the
forecast period quite cool after the cold frontal passage but
will trend back to near or slightly above normals by Thursday.
