What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Glasgow, MT wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill warning went out at Dec 28, 9:34 PM MST, 5 hours 27 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 28, 9:34 PM MST, 5 hours 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Glasgow MT 934 PM MST Thu Dec 28 2017 .DISCUSSION... 930pm Update: As the forecast is on track, no updates are needed with this update. Hickford Evening Update (630pm MST): This update was mainly focused on updating forecast snowfall amounts and headlines. Expected totals continue to creep upwards, with most of Petroleum County, including Winnett, expected to see 12 to 13 inches of snow through Saturday afternoon. With total snowfall across much of southern and central Phillips County now expected to be 10 to 12 inches, chose to upgrade to a Winter Storm Warning across those areas. So now the Winter Storm Warning includes Petroleum, Garfield, and most of Phillips Counties. This does include US 191 between Malta and headed down to Billings, which is expected to receive up to 13 or 14 inches of snow and will likely be impassable. Travel on Highway 200 from Jordan west will also be very dangerous during this time. Hickford Afternoon Update (2pm MST): Majority of the update was to the precipitation potential/amounts and adjusting headlines for the upcoming winter system. Totals continue to tick up slightly, however so do the easterly winds on Saturday for the region, lending to reduced confidence in exactly how much snow areas in the northeast will receive. Bigelbach Morning Update (9am MST): Generally the forecast remains the same. With the addition of recently updated model solutions with regards to QPF and snow ratios, the output snow amounts actually increase just a bit across the region. The gradient is a bit broader still and higher for places north and east of a line bisecting Whitewater-Glasgow-Glendive than that produced by more national guidance, further justifying the north and eastward push in the advisory. Guidances still bring in two distinct waves of snowfall for northeastern half of the CWA, once tomorrow and once on Saturday. The southwestern half may see continuous snowfall for the totality of the 54 hour period beginning this afternoon. The limiting factor may end up being the easterlies on Saturday, which continue to need to be bumped up in speed. Should that happen, it is not unreasonable to think that the northeast half of the CWA may see very little accumulating snowfall out of the Saturday push. This is probably the area of most uncertainty currently with regards to this storm. Bigelbach ...SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM SET TO IMPACT PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST MONTANA THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEK... Forecast challenge and focus continues to be the expected winter storm through many portions of Montana with increasing confidence. Deterministic model solutions and consensus continue to fall in line with expected snow fall map images from WPC winter desk. Beginning today, snow will spread from north central portions of the state through central and southeastern portions. This will basically take this first push of snow on a path through SW Phillips, Petroleum, and Garfield Counties. With these areas being the first of ours to be hit and the additional snowfall expected, we felt it was best to issue a winter storm warning for them. Generally the next arc of counties or zones to the NE will be under a winter weather advisory beginning 6 hours later which will represent lesser snow amounts expected over the course of the storm. Then lastly, our NE zones will be the only ones simply remaining in the wind chill advisory with only trace amounts of snow up to a few inches possible. As most of the focus will be with the snowfall from this storm, not as much emphasis will be on hazardous wind chills, but it should be noted that wind chill values Friday night through Saturday morning will easily reach dangerous levels of 40 below to 50 below zero. For those zones not in a warning or advisory for snow, they many need to be upgraded to a wind chill warning. Forecast wind speeds during that time are around 5 to 10 mph, which don't exactly meet criteria, but recent practice has been to err on the side of impacts and caution. Next and subsequent shifts will need to consider this possible need to upgrade. Speaking specifically to snow fall totals expected for the entire duration of this winter storm (today through late Saturday night) line up thusly: Trace to two inches near and NE of a line from Opheim through Wolf Point toward Beach, ND; Three to six inches near and either side of a relatively narrow line from Sleeping Buffalo, through Fort Peck, through Circle and Hoyt; Eight to Fourteen inches near and SW of a line from Zortman through Jordan and Hillside. Do not expect much blowing and drifting snow with this storm as forecast winds remain mostly slower than 10-12 mph. Looking like another round of fine, light, powdery snow to end the year. After this storm and into the first week of January, the forecast calls for warmer temperatures and no new snow. BMickelson && .AVIATION... Expected Flight Category: MVFR to IFR. Synopsis: A strong winter storm system pushing through the region over the next couple of days will continue to bring accumulating snowfall to all of the sites. MVFR ceilings will continue overnight and into Friday, with IFR or potentially worse conditions at any locations where snowfall is actively occurring. A slight break in the action is anticipated tomorrow evening, which should ease the ceiling and visibility situation at the TAF sites. Winds: Northeast winds at around 5-10 kts overnight will become more northerly at 5-10 kts early in the morning, which should persist the rest of the day. Bigelbach / Hickford && .GLASGOW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Storm Warning until 5 PM MST Saturday for Central and Southeast Phillips...Garfield...Petroleum...Southwest Phillips.
