Area forecast discussion, Nov 13, 4:00 AM MST, 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Billings MT
400 AM MST Fri Nov 13 2020
.DISCUSSION...
Today through Saturday...
Impacts over the next couple of days will be strong winds for
areas west of Billings. An upper trough will move inland off the
Pacific northwest coast today and across the northern Rockies
during the day Saturday. A strong jet stream will be associated
with this trough as well with 120kts expected over the forecast
area during the day Saturday.
For today into tonight, a surface low will move across southern
Canada while a surface high will be situated over southeast Idaho
and western Wyoming. This will result in lee-side troughing across
our forecast area with a tight north/south surface pressure
gradient over the Beartooth/Absaroka Foothills. As a result, the
wind advisory will continue for that area as strong wind gusts of
60 to 70 mph will be likely through Saturday evening. As the
surface low moves east across southern Canada tonight through
Saturday, the pressure gradient will shift more into a west/east
gradient which will favor the Big Timber to Harlowton areas.
Models bring 60kt winds at 700mb and 40-50kt winds at 850mb across
these areas tonight into Saturday. Confidence is high for 60 mph
gusts so the high wind watch has been upgraded to a high wind
warning from Big Timber to Harlowton. Further east from Stillwater
County to Rosebud County we are expecting wind gusts of 40-55 mph
during the day Saturday.
Pacific moisture will continue to stream over the
Beartooth/Absaroka Mountains through Saturday night. Accumulations
in the 8-12" range look likely, especially for the west facing
slopes.
Given the strong downslope flow, afternoon highs today and
Saturday will be mild into the upper 30s to middle 40s, which is
still at or slightly below normal for this time of year. Hooley
Saturday Night through Thursday...
Strong mixed W-NW winds will decrease Saturday evening, but gap
areas will see winds increase again late Saturday night into
Sunday courtesy of next period of lee side pressure falls.
Shortwave passage to our north will bring a shift to gusty SW-W
winds across our western foothills by afternoon. With mid level
winds greater than 50 knots feel that Livingston, Big Timber and
Harlowton all see a good chance of 50+ mph gusts. As for precip,
should be some snow over our orographically favored western
mountains, but lower elevations will remain dry given the strong
downsloping.
Strong upper level ridge will build over the region Monday and
Tuesday. This will result in a period of dry weather, less wind
for the foothills, and an overall warming trend. Warmest day of
the week looks like Tuesday, when a surge of 700mb temps of near
+5C should yield highs of at least 60 degrees many places. As the
ridge axis shifts east, SW winds will increase again in our west
Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Ridge will break down with a couple of weak Pacific shortwaves
Wednesday and Thursday. This will introduce a chance of rain
showers at lower elevations and snow for the mountains, and a
gradual cooling trend.
If you are looking for more lower elevation snow, there seems to
be some potential by next weekend. Ensemble consensus is for a
stronger wave and shift to NW flow, but members are very spread at
this time.
JKL
&&
.AVIATION...
Expect VFR conditions to continue over the next 24 hours. Very
gusty winds will continue throughout the day along the
Beartooth/Absaroka Foothills with gusts of 40 to 60 knots likely
for the KLVM area. Gusts of 40 to 50kts will be likely by later
this afternoon for the K6S0 area. In addition, wind gusts will
increase during the afternoon on the plains toward KBIL with gusts
20 to 30 knots. Hooley
