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 Mar 3, 10:52 AM MST, 2 hours 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 3, 10:52 AM MST, 2 hours 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Great Falls MT 1052 AM MST Sat Mar 3 2018 .UPDATE... Updated forecast is out. Kept the dense fog advisory for Cascade County, as fog still looks to linger over the southern portions of the county. Fog continues in the Helena valley, but that too is slowly eroding. Small adjustments to pops/temps towards current trends for this afternoon. Looking ahead, light snow develops over Southwest MT this evening then gradually over spreads Central MT by Sunday morning. The heaviest snowfall is expected mostly east of my area, but locations near Grass Range, Bozeman could get clipped by slightly higher snow amounts. Most of the snow will be over with by 12 AM Monday morning. Adjustments to the current highlights will occur with the afternoon package. Brusda && .SYNOPSIS... An upper level disturbance will move northeastward into Eastern MT tonight. Expect increasing clouds, along with a good chance for snow over southern and central MT by Sunday morning. Periods of light snow will continue, especially east of a line from Great Falls to Havre on Sunday. Expect colder temperatures to once again move back into the region, with afternoon highs mostly in the 20s for the first half of next week. && .AVIATION... Updated 1800Z. Expect patchy fog in the Helena area until about 19z, then it should erode slowly from west to east. Increasing clouds expected over Southwest MT this afternoon, with snow developing this evening around Bozeman. The snow will move up into the Helena, Great Falls and Lewistown areas by 12z Sun. Low clouds expected in the Havre area through mid afternoon, before dissipating a bit. Mountains/passes will become obscured tonight over Central/Southwest MT. Brusda && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 500 AM MST Sat Mar 3 2018/ Today through Monday...A brief break in snow will be found today before more active weather returns tonight into Sunday and possibly Monday. Yesterday's disturbance has now pulled north into Canada while a frontal boundary brings clouds to eastern and southern portions of the area currently. Overall snow will be on a diminishing trend this morning. Areas with clearing could even see some patchy fog this morning...mainly for central portions. As the day progresses a secondary low encroaches on the area. This will be are next weather maker...although track still greatly relies on how this low interacts with our first low now in Canada. Most models indicated a slightly westward track of this second low. This could return chances for snow to the southwest by late this afternoon...and spread northward through this evening. Tonight through Sunday this low really gets ramped up and develops a trowal feature across MT. The heaviest snow still looks to be just east of our CWA...however...the westward shift would still bring overrunning snow...moderate to heavy at times...tonight through Sunday. Broad wrap around moisture could then linger light snow into Monday morning. Although models are coming closer to agreement there is still only moderate confidence in this westward shift in storm track. Have issued a Winter Storm Watch to highlight the expected areas of concern for now. Current forecast have a general 2 to 4 inches from along and east of Interstate 15 and south of US Highway 2...with higher amounts near 6 inches in the southwest. Along and north of US Highway 2 looks to mostly miss out on the snow. There is a potential that low level moisture could bring some patchy fog or even freezing drizzle tonight into Sunday. Confidence is not high enough to include in the forecast at this point. This large low then moves into the Northern Plains on Monday ending widespread threat of snow. There still could be some scattered snow showers Monday as northwest flow brings a weakly unstable pattern. Temperatures will remain below normal, with Sunday being the coldest day of the short term. Highs will generally be in the 20s and 30s with lows in the single digits, with even cooler temperatures expected for Sunday. Anglin Monday night through Saturday...Medium range models have come into fairly good agreement on the large scale pattern throughout the upcoming week. Period begins under a NW flow aloft with some lingering shortwave energy to ripple across the the region Tuesday before upper level ridging progresses east across the Northern Rockies and MT late Wednesday through Friday. Energetic westerly flow in the eastern Pacific begins to flow over the ridge for increasing clouds and winds by Friday with trough axis moving onshore at some point next weekend. A few showers may accompany the weak shortwave energy moving through the region Tuesday with temperatures remaining below seasonal averages. Warming and drier conditions are likely to develop mid to late next week, though there is still some uncertainty in the amplitude of the upper ridge that progresses across the region as well as continued weak high pressure at the surface east of the Rockies, which may limit the degree of warming until a lee-side trough develops Friday.
