Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Great Falls MT
1050 AM MST Sun Nov 3 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

An active pattern will continue across the Northern Rockies to
begin the work week, with strong winds and accumulating snow
expected.

&&

.UPDATE...

Minor adjustments were made to the winds and precipitation chances
to reflect minor updates in the models. Otherwise the going
forecast remains on track.

The one main deviation with this update was adding blowing snow
probabilities to the northern Rocky Mountains for Monday morning
based on the expected wind speeds/gusts coinciding with expected
snowfall amounts. The blowing snow threat along the higher
elevations, including the mountain passes, is starting to stand
out as a much larger threat than previously expected. Further
investigation into the finer details will need to be made and
currently we are waiting on updated model guidance later this
morning to confirm the potential but it is something that will be
monitored closely heading into the afternoon forecast package.

.AVIATION...
03/18Z TAF Period

Expect VFR conditions to be the rule over the next 24 hours as a
brief stretch of quiet weather develops for North Central and
Southwestern Montana. Main concern at present will be a few
lingering SHSN at KWYS along with some low VFR cigs, though these
will dissipate over the next few hours. Elsewhere, expect winds to
increase overnight tonight and tomorrow as the next system
approaches. Ludwig

Refer to weather.gov/zlc for more detailed regional aviation weather
and hazard information.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 442 AM MST Sun Nov 3 2024/

Key Points :

- Overall quiet conditions are expected over the next 24 hours;
however, isolated rain/snow showers are possible over the plains
with a higher coverage of snow showers in the mountains

- A period of strong, and in the case of the Rocky Mountain Front
and immediate eastern plains, high winds develop Monday
morning/afternoon and persist through Tuesday night

- Significant snow accumulations are possible along the Continental
Divide north of Montana Hwy 200 corridor, in addition to the island
ranges of Central and North Central Montana from Monday
afternoon/night through Tuesday night

- The first, accumulating snowfall of the season for most lower
elevations of Central and North Central Montana is growing more
likely from Tuesday morning through Tuesday night

Changes to Forecast :

- High Wind Watch for the Rocky Mountain Front and adjacent
foothills and plains, and Eastern Glacier, Western Toole, and
Central Pondera Counties has been upgraded to a High Wind Warning
from 8AM MST Monday through 8AM MST Tuesday

- Winter Storm Watch has been issued for the Snowy, Judith, and
Bears Paw Mountains, and Southern Blaine, Judith Basin, and lower
elevations of Fergus County from late Monday night through late
Tuesday night

Today through tonight...Heights will be rising throughout the day as
longwave troughing slides over and east of the Northern Rockies,
with transient ridging over the Eastern Pacific (this morning)
quickly sliding east and towards the region by Monday morning. This
will place Southwest through North Central Montana beneath cold and
unstable northwesterly flow aloft through much of the daylight
hours. This cold and unstable flow aloft combined with surface
heating is expected to help support isolated rain/snow showers over
the plains and valleys, with better coverage of snow showers across
the Continental Divide and mountains of Southwest Montain. While
most locations will receive little to precipitation from these
showers, a few of the stronger showers over aforementioned higher
terrain could produce a quick 1-2" of snow. Given how isolated these
higher amounts will be through the day, no winter weather highlights
are planned at this time.

Monday through Tuesday...will be the most impactful period of the
next week, with multiple hazards to address.

The first hazard will be potential for high winds as transient
ridging over the Northern Rockies on Monday morning is quickly
flattened by a fast and compact shortwave, which will be digging
southeast from the Pacific Northwest/British Columbia (Monday
morning) and over the Northern Rockies and High Plains through
Tuesday. Mid- to upper level winds ahead of and behind this digging
shortwave are not overly anomalous (generally 1 to 2 standard
deviations above normal); however, favorable thermal profiles from
late Monday morning through early Monday evening will help to
support mountain wave activity. As the shortwave digs south and east
over the Northern Rockies Monday night, strong cold air advection
and mechanical mixing along the first of two cold fronts (i.e.
Pacific cold front late Monday evening/night and re-enforcing cold
front Tuesday morning) will continue to support the potential for
strong mid-level winds translating to surface. At this time NBM
probabilities continue to favor (i.e. a 70% or greater chance) wind
gusts in excess of 55 mph along the Rocky Mountain Front and
immediate eastern plains out to the I-15 corridor, which is why the
High Wind Watch has been upgraded to a High Wind Warning for these
areas. It should be noted that NBM probabilities and EFI values have
been increasing further to the east over some plains locations of
Central and North Central Montana during the Monday night through
Tuesday afternoon timeframe, most notably in downsloping areas of
the island ranges, with this trend needing to be monitored for the
potential need to expand the current High Wind Warning further east.

The second hazard of concern will be the potential for significant
snowfall and/or impactful accumulations from Monday afternoon
through Tuesday night. Orographic snow will begin to fall along the
Continental Divide by late(early) Monday morning(afternoon), with a
(convective) band of snow then spreading east and over Southwest
through North Central Montana Monday night as the Pacific cold front
slides east. Additional snow, potentially convective in nature, will
then sag south from Alberta and across the plains of North Central
and Central Montana through Tuesday morning as a re-enforcing cold
front crashes south. Strong, northerly flow in wake of this re-
enforcing cold front will then bring ideal upslope conditions for
the island ranges of Central and North Central Montana through the
remainder of Tuesday, in addition to the US Hwy 89 and Montana Hwy
200 corridor between Armington Jct and Lewistown. While NBM
probabilities have been slow to pickup on the potential for
significant (i.e. greater than 6" across lower elevations or 9" in
the mountains) snowfall across the the Continental Divide, island
ranges, and lower elevations of Central Montana between Great Falls
and Lewistown; latest EFI values have risen to between 0.7 to 0.95
with respect to snow across these areas. These increasing EFI values
and ensemble support within the ECMWF, Canadian, and GEFS has
increased confidence that impactful snow is possible across all of
the island ranges and portions of Central Montana plains, which has
necessitated the expansion of the Winter Storm Watch. Additional
Winter Weather Advisories are likely to be needed to buffering the
current Winter Storm Watch, but have held off for now.

Wednesday through next Sunday...ensemble clusters largely favor
broad, upper level ridging building in over the Western CONUS
through the period behind the departing shortwave trough; with the
aforementioned shortwave trough digging south into the Four Corners
and becoming cut off. This will generally lead to moderating
temperatures and overall dry conditions; however, and isolated
