Area Forecast Discussion...Updated
National Weather Service Billings MT
842 PM MDT Mon Oct 12 2020

.UPDATE...

Minor update this evening to adjust PoP and QPF toward latest
short term model data. Also adjusted winds up in the Big Timber
area this evening as winds have been slower to decrease there.
Still, we expect that as mid-level winds further weaken over the
western foothills, the wind speeds even at Big Timber will weaken
overnight. Rest of forecast on track. RMS

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Tonight through Wednesday night...

Bottom Line up front...Wednesday looks to be a cool and very
unsettled day with strong winds and areas of precipitation
developing.

Shortwave impulses in the northwest mid level flow will continue
to result in some isolated to scattered showers across our CWA
this evening. We get a brief break late tonight and early Tuesday
before more Pacific impulses track over our region Tuesday
afternoon for an increasing chance of precipitation over the
western and northern zones. By Tuesday evening upper dynamics and
height falls should generate widespread precipitation across the
entire CWA before crossing the region overnight.

Most of the energy moves southeast of our region early
Wednesday...but it pulls down a backdoor cold front into our area
which results in a baroclinic zone stretched from the Snowies to
the Big Horns by Wednesday evening. This will mean a good chance
of precipitation in this area. A few inches of snow is possible
in the upper foothills and mtns around the Big Horns Wednesday
night. Proggs indicate the baroclinic band may weaken late
Wednesday night.

Wind Issues...strong winds to 60 mph around Livingston today and
in the 50 mph range at Big Timber and Harlowton. Wind advisory
looks good through afternoon with gradient and strongest low level
wind maxima diminishing by evening. Wednesday will be a very windy
day in many locations as mid to upper level winds increase. 700mb
wind is progged at 50-60 kts with subsidence developing behind
Tuesdays nights impulse moving off to the east. Bufkit soundings
are inconclusive as they at least a brief low level inversion, but
also a brief period of 50-60 kts winds possibly mixing to the
surface Wednesday morning to midday. Models differ on how this
will pan out. Will advertise a very windy day and raise wind gusts
forecast for eastern sections Wednesday, but hold off on
highlights at this time.

Highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s are expected Tuesday and 50s
for Wednesday. Lows in the 30s to lower 40s will be common. BT

Thursday through Monday...

A big change to the weather looks more and more likely for this
weekend. This change will involve a strong cold front pushing
colder air into the area, with an increasing chance of rain and/or
a rain and snow mixture Saturday into Sunday.

Thursday and Friday should be relatively dry, as heights build
ahead of the weather changing pattern mentioned above. Thursday
will be cooler with highs only in the lower 50s. Lows Thursday
night will be quite chilly and many locations could see their
first freeze of the year. Friday will be warmer ahead of an
advancing Canadian cold front.

Ensembles were coming into better agreement about a Hudson Bay
low retrograding into central Canada this weekend. This will open
the door to cold air to drop south Friday night into Saturday,
with the coldest air arriving Saturday night and Sunday. The
operational runs of the GFS and ECMWF were a little different from
each other, with the EC being slower and colder with the air.
Ensembles though were painting a picture which looks like an
earlier and colder airmass working in Saturday into Sunday. Will
paint likely PoPs for Saturday as the cold air settles in and
continue chance PoPs into Sunday. The air looks cold enough for
wet snow, certainly over the mountains and foothills, but also
over the plains as well. Looks like a potential widespread rain
changing to wet snow event for the forecast area. Stay tuned. TWH

.AVIATION...

Winds gusting to 45 kt are expected near K6S0 this evening. Winds
will gradually decrease this evening. Otherwise, expect mainly
VFR conditions to prevail through Tuesday morning.

Tuesday will see increasing cloudiness through the morning, and
precip overspreading the region through the evening. Expect
mountain obscuration by late Tuesday morning, and possible MVFR
