What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this blizzard 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 blizzard warning went out at May 6, 11:35 AM MDT, 2 hours 32 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 6, 11:35 AM MDT, 2 hours 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Great Falls MT 1135 AM MDT Mon May 6 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A Pacific weather system is on track to initially bring strong northwest winds to much of North Central, Central, and Southwest Montana with some areas of precipitation. While the strong winds will linger through Wednesday, the low elevation rain and mountain snow will increase and become heavier, especially over North Central and Central Montana. The system will then exit the area Wednesday night into Thursday, for decreasing winds and precipitation, and a period of drying and warming conditions into the weekend. && .UPDATE... Forecast appears to be mostly on track so far, so no major changes are planned until the afternoon forecast package aside from expiring the Winter Weather Advisory for Southwestern Montana. Ludwig && .AVIATION... 1105 AM MDT Mon May 6 2024 (06/18Z TAF Period) Light to moderate rain has overspread areas along and northeast of a KLWT, to KGTF, to KCTB line late this morning, with this area of precipitation expected to slowly lift north and east of a KLWT to KHVR line through 00-06z Tuesday. MVFR/low-VFR conditions will predominately prevail beneath and outside of this area precipitation through much of the TAF period, with CIGS falling to IFR/MVFR at the KCTB and KHVR terminals beyond 12z Tuesday as precipitation pivots back to the southwest from southern Canada. Mountains will be obscured over the next 24 hours. In addition to the lower ceilings throughout much of the TAF period, strong and gusty west to northwest winds will occur along and north of the I-90 corridor, particularly at the KHLN, KLWT, KHVR, and KCTB terminals where wind gusts in excess of 35kts are expected. Mountain wave turbulence and instances of low level wind shear will be a threat for the entire 0618/0718 TAF period. - Moldan Refer to weather.gov/zlc for more detailed regional aviation weather and hazard information. && .HYDROLOGY... A slow moving Pacific weather system will bring an extended period of lower elevation rain and mountain snow this week, with the heaviest precipitation falling Tuesday through early Thursday. NBM probabilistic guidance highlights the eastern portions of Central/North-central MT with the heaviest rainfall amounts for this period, largely supporting 1 to 3 inches of rainfall/snow melt liquid equivalent over locations east of a Great Falls to Shelby line Tuesday through Thursday. While flooding is generally not expected, some rivers, creeks, and streams along the Canadian border in Hill and Blaine Counties are expected to approach or reach action stage Wednesday and Thursday, mainly impacting unpopulated rural locations. Anyone near waterways should remain alert for changing conditions and be prepared to seek higher ground should water rises occur. - RCG && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1105 AM MDT Mon May 6 2024/ Key Points: - A significant spring storm remains on track to impact the Northern Rockies through the middle of this week; bringing strong winds, widespread low elevation rain, and heavy mountain snow. - Strong northwest winds of 30 to 45 mph gusting to 65 mph will develop today over much of North Central and Central Montana and continue at times through Wednesday. - The heaviest forecast rainfall amounts have spread west to include the plains for much of North Central and Central Montana. Amounts are mostly in the 1 to 2 inch range for this afternoon through Thursday, with up to 4 inches of rain/snow water equivalent possible in the mountains. - The heaviest mountain snowfall amounts have remained consistently in the 1 to 2 feet range for most areas Tuesday through Wednesday, but up to 3 feet of snow is possible in the Little Belt Mountains. Today through Tonight... A low pressure area aloft that is over the Utah/Idaho/Wyoming borders early this morning is forecast to be moved northeast across Wyoming today and into the Dakotas tonight. Moisture wrapping around this system will continue light to at times moderate snow with gusty southerly winds in the mountains of Southwest Montana, so the Winter Weather Advisory will remain in effect there until noon today. Precipitation will gradually shift northeast on the back side of the low pressure area, focusing over the area along and east of a Lewistown to Havre line this afternoon. The moisture axis is then forecast to move further to the northeast overnight as the low center lingers over North Dakota. However, strong (45 to 60 kt) low- to mid- level winds on the backside of the low will also combine with a strong surface pressure gradient to bring a 70 to 85 percent probability of strong northwest winds of 30 to 45 mph with gusts to 65 mph to much of North Central and Central Montana beginning this afternoon. Have therefore upgraded the High Wind Watch for much of North Central Montana to a Warning and expanded it to include much of Central Montana. This potential seems to be driven partially by areas of downsloping off the Sweetgrass Hills, Bears Paw Mountains, and the island mountains of Central Montana, as well as by the northwest winds blowing through northwest to southeast oriented valleys in Central Montana. This system will also begin the downward trend in temperatures, as they should fall closer to seasonal averages. Tuesday through Thursday... The low pressure center is then forecast to retrograde west into Eastern Montana Tuesday into Tuesday night as it merges with a large low pressure trough moving east across the Pacific Northwest. This shift west of the precipitation-laden system will spread moderate rainfall over much of North Central and Central Montana, which will persist into Wednesday night. Probabilistic guidance continues to give much of the area an 80+ percent chance for at least 1 inch of precipitation, with a 50 to 70 percent probability of 2+ inches east of Interstate 15. Temperatures cooling up to 15 degrees below normal will help lower snow levels to between 4000 and 5000 feet, resulting in at least a 50 percent chance of 12+ inches of snow for most mountain areas with a 70+ percent chance of at least 24 inches of snow in the Little Belt Mountains. Have therefore continued the Winter Storm Warning for the Little Belts and upgraded the Winter Storm Watches to Warnings for the East Glacier Park Region and for the remaining mountain areas of Central Montana. The approach of the low pressure center and its associated strong northwest flow mentioned earlier will continue the strong surface winds through Tuesday into Tuesday night, which will cause reduced visibility in the mountains due to wet blowing snow, and a few power outages are possible due to the winds blowing wet accumulated snow on some power lines. Winds should decrease through the day on Wednesday and the snow should taper off Wednesday night into Thursday as ensemble guidance members are in good agreement with moving a high pressure ridge southeast into Montana, forcing the weather system into the Central Rockies and High Plains. Friday through next Monday... Most of the ensemble guidance keeps at least a weak high pressure ridge over Montana through this period, which should keep the area mostly dry as temperatures warm to around 15 degrees above normal by Monday. However, the NBM brings some weak disturbances through the area Sunday and Monday, so there is a chance of mainly mountain precipitation for those days. -Coulston && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
