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 Sep 25, 8:13 PM MDT, 8 hours 2 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 25, 8:13 PM MDT, 8 hours 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Great Falls MT Issued by National Weather Service Glasgow MT 813 PM MDT Wed Sep 25 2019 UPDATED... The High Wind Watch which was in effect for Hill, Liberty and Blaine was cancelled as the winds across these areas will remain below threshold levels. A High wind warning was issued for portions of central, north central, southwest and west central Montana. In addition, a Winter Storm Watch was expanded to include Cascade- Central and Southern Lewis and Clark, Liberty, Judith Basin, Jefferson, Broadwater and Meagher. Otherwise, no changes from previous shift as forecast is on track with expected weather conditions. FGC && .AVIATION... Updated 1222 PM MDT Wed Sep 25 2019 (25/18Z TAFs) Begin this TAF period with VFR conditions throughout. Overnight, expect rainfall to develop from north to south, reducing conditions to MVFR in rain. Icing conditions develop, as well. Expect gusty winds particularly across north and central Montana with the strongest winds forecast along the Rocky Mountain Front. Turbulence will develop. Additionally, Virga is forecast as moisture evaporates in the gusty winds. As always downbursts can be expected in and near Virga. - Fogleman .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 553 AM MDT Wed Sep 25 2019/ Today through Thursday Night...A strong northwesterly flow will continue as subtle and brief ridging noses northeastward into the region through tonight. This will bring a day of drier weather with near normal temperatures and a brief break from gusty winds. Not expecting any significant chances for precipitation but there could be a stray shower or two over eastern Hill and Blaine Counties this morning. A fast moving disturbance embedded within this northwesterly flow will then usher in an extended period of active weather beginning Wednesday night. Winds and clouds will increase ahead of this system as an associated clipper system approaches from the north and begins to move across the area starting early Thursday morning and continuing into Thursday night. There will be a pressure gradient increase in response to this system across the area resulting in strong gusty westerly winds initially along the Northern Rocky Mountain Front. At the same time, there will be an area of 50 to 60 kt 700 mb winds that will sweep through the region during the day on Thursday. This will encourage the gusty winds to expand into the plains and valleys during the morning hours, with the strongest winds anticipated to be over the central and north- central areas and over locations on the lee side of terrain. These winds will make travel in high profile vehicles difficult, especially over roadways that run north to south such as Interstate 15 and US highway 89 in north-central Montana. Also, anyone with recreational plans should be aware that wind gusts could exceed 60 mph on mountain ridgetops. With the anticipation that winds may exceed high wind criteria, the high wind watch for the Northern/Southern Rocky Mountain Front and eastern Glacier County was upgraded to a warning while the watch was allowed to continue for central and north-central Montana. This watch will likely be upgraded to a warning later today. Rain showers may develop throughout the region by early Thursday morning and this activity may persist through Friday morning, although the most widespread precipitation will occur during the day on Thursday. Snow levels will likely be above 8000 feet for the bulk of this disturbance, mostly impacting areas above mountain pass level. With that being said, snow levels do drop to the 6000 to 7000 level later Thursday evening into the pre-dawn hours on Friday for areas along the Rocky Mountain Front and for the mountains of Central Montana. This could result in some scattered light mountain snowfall in these areas. Winds are forecast to diminish Thursday evening, while precipitation also becomes more scattered across the area Thursday night, as stated above. Temperatures on Thursday cool to slightly below normal levels. Overnight lows for Thursday night will mostly be in the 30s and 40s. Friday through next Wednesday...A Canadian cold front will be through North Central and Central Montana on Friday, and it should linger over Southwest Montana into the day on Saturday. During this time, a low pressure center within a large-scale trough will move south into the Pacific Northwest, putting the forecast area under a moist southwest flow aloft. This will likely bring rain showers and high mountain snow showers to much of the area Friday into Friday night, with a slight chance afternoon thunderstorms in the southwest. Temperatures will gradually begin to cool with highs in the 40s and 50s and lows in the mid 20s to mid 30s. The cold air will continue to push south behind the front on Saturday, causing more widespread accumulating snow in the mountains, rain in the southwest valleys, and a mix of rain and snow for the northern plains. The coldest air over the plains will initially be along the Rocky Mountain Front, making that area most likely to see accumulating wet snow on the plains. The southwest flow aloft will be more diffluent there as well, for the best chance of heavier precipitation. This area of the Rocky Mountain Front and adjacent plains is the focus for the Winter Storm Watch, so will leave that in effect, as the cold air will remain in place there through the day on Sunday for a more persistent wet snowfall. Northeast winds could also gust to 40 mph at times close to the Rocky Mountain Front and west over the Continental Divide, making periods of near- blizzard conditions possible. Overall, daytime temperatures will fall into the 30s at lower elevations across the entire area Saturday into Sunday with overnight lows well into the 20s (potentially record-breaking cold). However, lower elevations along and east of a line from Dillon northeast to the Sweetgrass Hills will warm up to near/slightly above freezing, which will help at least partially melt snow and bring more uncertainty to snow accumulations, so will hold off on winter highlights there for now. Precipitation will gradually decrease Monday into Tuesday as the low pressure center moves farther to the south away from the area. It will then lift northeast over Montana Tuesday into Wednesday, but it will be significantly weakened, so the chances for additional precipitation will be lower as well. Temperatures will also remain much colder than normal into early next week. Coulston && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
