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 Feb 7, 9:46 AM MST, 4 hours 39 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 7, 9:46 AM MST, 4 hours 39 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Great Falls MT 946 AM MST Wed Feb 7 2018 .UPDATE... Wind speeds have trended lower this morning in response to rising surface pressure over North-central MT. Webcams suggest ongoing areas of snow drifting across roads in some of the colder locations, but no restrictions to visibility resulting from blowing snow. Therefore, the winter weather advisory for blowing snow has been canceled. Downslope westerly winds have pushed mild air across southwest MT and along the Rocky Mountain front extending out to near I15. Expect warmer air to continue mixing eastward. However, forecast temperatures today remain tricky in the Helena valley where there is some potential they will remain inverted. A few locations across central Montana continue to report wind gusts near 30 mph, so isolated areas of blowing snow remain possible. The forecast was updated to better match observed trends in temperature and precipitation, with snow likely persisting over mountain areas today. Looking ahead, we are continuing to evaluate the potential for mixed winter weather types tonight at lower elevations as precipitation develops and cold air begins moving south again. PN && .SYNOPSIS... An upper level trof of low pressure will generally reside over the region for the next few days. However, a surface warm front will try to move northward into Southwest and North Central MT today. The front will likely stall out along a line from Shelby to Lewistown. Colder air, along with widespread accumulating snow will then develop late tonight in the Havre area, and gradually move south and westward on Thursday into Central and Southwest MT. && .AVIATION... Updated 1100Z. A surface warm front is starting to move off the Rockies and eastward into Southwest and North Central MT. Expect Low Level Wind Shear this morning over the central portions of the region, as the winds will be slow to increase at the surface. A cold front then moves southward into far North Central MT this evening, switching surface winds back to the northeast along the I-15 corridor. Light showers will affect the Havre/Lewistown areas this morning, with widespread snow developing tonight with IFR conditions in these regions. Mountain turbulence and obscurations can be expected through the period across the region. Brusda && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 521 AM MST Wed Feb 7 2018/ 520 AM Update...Updated high temperatures across Central MT, as warm continues to move northward. Good mixing this morning should allow temperatures to approach 40 degrees in the Great Falls area. Brusda Today through Friday...Main challenge today will be high temperatures over North Central MT. Surface warm front has moved through Great Falls, but it is likely to stall out along a line from Shelby to Fort Benton to north of Lewistown later today. Highs today in the 30s/40s will occur south of the front and only in the teens on colder north side around Havre/Harlem. I did cool temperatures in the valleys of the Southwest MT for today as well, as they will be slow to mix out. Blowing snow will affect areas mainly along/west of I-15 today. Thus the winter weather advisory for blowing snow will continue for the Rocky Mountain Front. Another strong cold front will move southward through the region late tonight and during the day on Thursday. Widespread accumulating snow is possible tonight into Friday in the Havre/Lewistown areas. Further south, the WRF model has significantly reduced precipitation amounts in the Great Falls/Helena/Bozeman area thus confidence has decreased a bit in this region for total snowfall. Some light mixed freezing precipitation is possible tonight along the frontal boundary, mainly over Central MT. Overall the winter storm watch will continue, but I did adjust the start time in Southwest MT closer to Thursday evening. For Friday night through Tuesday, expect a very cold morning on Saturday over North Central MT. If skies clear out towards sunrise on Saturday morning over the North, it could be even colder. Precipitation decreases quite a bit for Sat into Sunday. For Sunday night into Monday, the GFS/EC are quite different, with the GFS cold/snowy and the EC not as cold with lighter precipitation. Thus went with a blend during this period, but confidence is low and significant changes are possible for this period. A northwesterly flow aloft continues over the region for next Tue/Wed resulting in seasonable temperatures. Brusda && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
