What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Great Falls, MT wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Dec 16, 10:15 PM MST, 4 hours 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 16, 10:15 PM MST, 4 hours 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Great Falls MT 1015 PM MST Sat Dec 16 2017 ...Aviation Section Updated... .UPDATE... Made minor tweaks to grids to reflect latest observations. There are no major changes in the current thinking, with the potential for patchy fog development especially toward the Bozeman area which received the most snow. Winds will begin to increase in the next few hours as low pressure troughing develops along the Rocky Mountain Front, which mean most locations in this area are already at or near their forecast lows and will slowly rise through the night. CC && .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will build in from the west tonight for clearing skies and seasonably cold temperatures. Some patchy fog is possible in valley locations tonight as skies clear. Dry conditions on Sunday will give way to increasing winds and cloud- cover Sunday night. Several weather systems will move across the region next week for progressively colder conditions along with a a chance for snow. && .AVIATION... Updated 0515Z. IFR/LIFR conditions mainly due to fog and mist will be possible across portions of Southwest and Central Montana into the early morning hours today, before drier air and mixing within the boundary layer disperse the moisture. The KBZN and KLWT terminals are most at risk of observing these IFR/LIFR conditions. Elsewhere across the remainder of Southwest and North Central Montana, MVFR and VFR conditions are expected. Some mountain obscuration is possible through the morning hours across Southwest and Central Montana. Breezy to gusty winds are expected during the afternoon hours on Sunday across the plains of North Central Montana and along the Rocky Mountain Front. Frequent wind gusts in excess of 25kts are expected for the KCTB, KHVR, and KGTF terminals Sunday afternoon and into the evening hours. - Moldan && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 425 PM MST Sat Dec 16 2017/ Trough axis extending from western Canada south into the Great Basin will shift east across the forecast area late this afternoon while splitting. Drier air moves in relatively quickly this evening from the west as an upper level ridge moves onto the coast for clearing skies from west to east across the forecast area while any lingering snow across SE portions of the forecast area ends early this evening. This may set the stage for patchy fog across portions of central and SW MT with SW MT valleys more likely to see the fog development later this evening as winds will be relatively light and precipitation has only recently ended, leading to relatively high surface moisture. Further north across central and eastern portions of north central MT, there will be a window of opportunity for patchy fog development early this evening as skies clear but before winds increase in response to lee-side surface troughing developing in Alberta. The upper level ridge axis shifts east across the Northern Rockies and MT Sunday for generally dry conditions with surface winds increasing across north central MT as winds aloft increase along with a strengthening lee-side trough at the surface. The ridge flattens Sunday night and Monday as a larger scale trough moves into western Canada with upper level jet sagging south to along the US/Canadian border by Monday afternoon. Winds continue to increase Sunday night through Monday morning with greatest potential for strong winds along the east slopes of the Rockies. Previously mentioned upper jet will also stream moisture in from the Pacific for orographically enhanced precipitation along the continental divide sunday night into Monday. An E-W frontal boundary is likely to set up initially along the northern border early Monday which then sags south through central MT Monday afternoon, providing a focus for additional precipitation across central and north-central portions of the forecast area. There is some potential for strong winds to spread east into central MT Monday morning but confidence remains low as surface winds will also be shifting to NW as the frontal boundary sags south. Hoenisch Monday night through Saturday...Monday's front will sink south during the evening hours, then stall near or just south of Great Falls. This should allow the stronger winds from Monday to begin to decrease areawide, with precip mainly confined to SW MT. On Tuesday, a fast-moving, but strong, upper level system will move into the Pac NW which will push the stalled front back north as a warm front. As the upper level system nears, lee-side surface low development is expected near Cut Bank. This low will then quickly shift east through Wednesday, allowing a cold front to surge south across the area at the same time. This system will likely bring a widespread light snowfall to much of the area. However, lift will be maximized along and north of the surface low track, with higher amounts expected in that area. The models differ some on the exact track of this low, but at this time, the heaviest snowfall amounts and greatest impacts look to be along the Rocky Mtn Front and east across the Hi-line. The rapidly strengthening surface low should allow a period of gusty winds over the plains, which may add to the impacts due to the potential of blowing snow. Stay tuned for continued updates on expected impacts with this winter system. Beyond mid-week, the models continue to suggest the development of a broad upper level trough over the central US, which would favor continued colder conditions. How cold remains to be seen, but the potential exists for some of the coldest air of the season, especially with a fresh snowpack likely across much of the area. The cold air will likely be accompanied by periods of light snow. MARTIN && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
