What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill advisory 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 wind chill advisory went out at Feb 11, 9:19 AM MST, 4 hours 37 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 11, 9:19 AM MST, 4 hours 37 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Great Falls MT 919 AM MST Sun Feb 11 2018 ...Morning and Aviation Discussion Update... .UPDATE... Issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Rocky Mountain Front and mountain/plains interface. Models have trended higher with QPF along this corridor, with a very favorable low-level upslope wind signature indicated along with decent dynamics aloft. The one limiting factor is moisture, which is not optimal but is better than marginal. && .SYNOPSIS... Periods of mainly light snow will affect North-Central and Southwest Montana today into Monday morning. Fair weather will then grace the area later Monday into Tuesday. However, a few light snow showers may linger over Southwest Montana Monday afternoon and evening. Below-normal temperatures today through Monday night will be followed by near-normal high temperatures on Tuesday. && .AVIATION... Updated 1615Z. Widespread MVFR/IFR conditions over the plains will gradually end from north to south later this afternoon, while along the Rocky Mountain Front and adjacent foothills IFR with occasional LIFR conditions with total mountain obscurations should be expected into the evening. For Southwest MT, mountain-obscuring snow, with mainly MVFR/IFR CIGS/VSBY, will overspread the region between about 20Z/Sun and 00Z/Mon. Conditions in Southwest MT should then begin to improve gradually from the north after 08Z/Mon. CC/Jaszka && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 433 AM MST Sun Feb 11 2018/ Today through Tuesday...A shortwave trough of Arctic origin is continuing to approach MT from the north. This disturbance will cross our CWA this evening through Monday afternoon as it moves southward and eventually southeastward. Behind this shortwave, a high pressure ridge aloft will build over our region Monday evening through Tuesday. Simultaneously, this ridge will be flattened by another disturbance approaching from the Gulf of Alaska region. At the surface, an Arctic front is crossing the Hi-Line and has already passed through Cut Bank. This front will continue to traverse our CWA from north to south this morning through early evening. Behind this front, an Arctic high pressure ridge will settle over the area this evening into Monday as the ridge slides southward and then eastward. On Monday evening into Tuesday, a lee surface trough will begin forming over our CWA and sharpen, causing the surface pressure gradient to tighten and downslope winds to form/strengthen over North-Central MT. As for precipitation, the aforementioned Arctic front is expected to deliver primarily light snow this morning into Monday morning, with most or all snow falling behind the surface front. New snow accumulations are expected to be an inch or less at lower elevations, with 1-4 inches in the mountains. Impacts are also expected to be minor with this snowfall, so decided not to issue any winter weather advisories. Widespread fair weather is then expected for our CWA later Monday into Tuesday. However, a few light snow showers may linger over far-southern Southwest Montana Monday afternoon and evening, with less than an inch of additional accumulation expected. Temperatures will remain below-normal today through Monday night. On Tuesday, high temperatures are expected to rebound toward normal as the aforementioned high pressure ridge aloft is accompanied by warmer air and Chinook winds affect many locales. Jaszka Tuesday night through Saturday...main forecast concerns in the long term remains the potential for strong winds Tuesday night and during the morning hours on Wednesday, followed by the chance for precipitation Wednesday afternoon/evening and into the day on Thursday. Models continue to indicate the potential for a period of strong winds to start off the long term, especially along the Rocky Mountain Front and onto the immediate plains west of Interstate 15. H700 cross barrier flow of around 40-50kts along the Continental Divide/Rocky Mountain Front Tuesday evening will increase to around 60-80kts by 12z Wednesday, before gradually decreasing into the afternoon hours on Wednesday. NAEFS Standard Anomaly analysis for H700 wind speeds over this timeframe and area indicate that these values are generally running 1 to 2 standard deviations above normal. At the surface, a lee-side surface trough continues to sharpen into the overnight hours in response to a strengthening area of low pressure moving across Central Canada. The pressure gradient along the Continental Divide peaks late Tuesday evening/early Wednesday, with values in excess of 100 microbars/km being noted. BUFKIT sounding analysis for the Marias Pass region continues to show strong stability at and above ridgetop level, which would be ideal for the formation of mountain wave activity. Given these anomalously strong winds, strong pressure gradient, and ridgetop stability, confidence continues to increase that a period of strong (and potentially High Wind criteria) winds will be observed Tuesday night and Wednesday morning along the Rocky Mountain Front and over the plains west of Interstate 15. These strong winds combined with the antecedent snowpack, will pose the potential for significant reductions in visibility should there be little to no crusting of the top layer of snow. Breezy conditions are then expected to spread out onto the remainder of the plains Wednesday morning, however, confidence in these winds approaching High Wind Criteria is much lower than along the Rocky Mountain Front. None-the-less, some blowing/drifting of snow will be possible, especially in areas with loose snow. With regards to the potential for precipitation then.... Long range models (ie GFS/Canadian/ECMWF) are in better agreement with the overall track of the H500 shortwave Wednesday into Thursday, however, the GFS remains the furthest north and fastest solution (which would limit QPF amounts, especially across Southwest Montana). Generally, the H500 shortwave over Southern British Columbia is expected to dive southeast into/near the Great Basin by Wednesday evening, which will help to spread synoptic lift over the Northern Rockies region late Wednesday afternoon. At the surface, a cold front will push from northwest to southeast across most of the CWA Wednesday afternoon and into the morning hours on Thursday (providing additional forcing). As the mid/upper level flow becomes southwesterly, a limited amount of Pacific moisture (ie PWATs of 0.15" to 0.30") will gradually overspread the Northern Rockies. Light precipitation in the form of snow is expected to develop across most of the CWA Wednesday afternoon and persist into the morning on Thursday, with generally light accumulations expected at this time. - Moldan && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
