AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GLASGOW MT 150 PM MDT MON JUN 13 2005 .SHORT TERM...FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA...TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... MUCH QUIETER WEATHER ON TAP FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS IN LATER TONIGHT BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. SHORT RANGE MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT SO NO PREFERENCE FOR THE FORECAST TODAY. OVERALL...VERY FEW CHANGES MADE TO THE SHORT TERM FORECAST TODAY. SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT PRECIPITATION TO A GOOD PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL FINISH SHIFTING EAST OUT OF THE REGION TONIGHT. SUBSIDENCE AND DRIER AIRMASS BEGINS TO WORK IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST...SO KEPT IDEA OF CLEARING OUT LATER TONIGHT. POSSIBILITY THAT SOME FOG COULD FORM...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT GOT THE MOST PRECIPITATION LAST NIGHT. WILL ADD PATCHY MENTION IN SINCE IT SHOULD NOT BE ALL THAT WIDESPREAD. BY TUESDAY...RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TAKES CONTROL WITH IMPRESSIVE THERMAL RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE AREA. WILL SEE BIG JUMP IN TEMPERATURES BACK UP TO A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL...ONLY THE SECOND OCCURRENCE SO FAR IN JUNE. MODEL SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW LOTS OF DRYING SO CLOUDS SHOULD BE HARD TO COME BY...OTHER THAN PERHAPS A LITTLE FLAT CU. LOTS OF SUN TO ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO QUICK WARM UP. BY TUESDAY NIGHT...UPPER LEVEL FLOW TURNS TO THE SOUTHWEST AS RIDGE MOVES INTO THE DAKOTAS. WARM OVERNIGHT LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT WITH THERMAL RIDGE STAYING IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA. SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED PACIFIC FRONT APPROACH THE FORECAST AREA BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. PRE-FRONTAL WARMING IN THE EAST TO BOOST TEMPS CLOSE TO 90...SO MADE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO THE TEMPERATURE GRID. POSSIBLE FOR A THUNDERSTORM TO WORK INTO THE EXTREME WEST...BUT SHOULD PROBABLY HOLD OFF UNTIL EVENING. WILL LEAVE SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE EXTREME WEST IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON FOR NOW...BUT NEXT SHIFT MAY NEED TO REMOVE. JAZ .LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY... MODELS ARE SIMILAR WITH THE OVERALL PATTERN WITH ONLY SOME DIFFERENCES IN TIMING THE SHORTWAVES IN SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES ACROSS EASTERN MONTANA WEDNESDAY NIGHT. COULD SEE SOME THUNDERSTORMS WITH THIS FRONT. UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS STAY TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE FORECAST AREA AND THERE IS LIMITED MOISTURE WITH THIS FRONT. WILL MAINTAIN GOING SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. THERMAL RIDGE ALONG THE FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR A WARM NIGHT... ESPECIALLY IN THE EASTERN ZONES. RAISED WED NIGHTS LOWS IN THE EAST. SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DOMINATES THE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH WEST COAST TROUGH OR UPPER LOW AND RIDGE TO THE EAST. THERMAL RIDGE REMAINS OVER EASTERN MONTANA TO PROVIDE SUMMERLIKE TEMPERATURES. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT A MOUNTAIN INDUCED THUNDERSTORM COULD HOLD TOGETHER INTO THE NW PART OF THE FORECAST AREA TO ALLOW FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE SOUTHEAST ZONES SHOULD HAVE WARM AIR ALOFT WHICH WILL KEEP THAT AREA CAPPED. FORRESTER && .AVIATION... SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL LINGER OVER THE FORECAST AREA WITH A MIX OF LOW AND MID CLOUDS THROUGH EARLY EVENING AS UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST. SKIES SHOULD CLEAR AFTER SUNSET. MOIST ATMOSPHERE AND CLEAR SKIES MAKES FOG A POSSIBILITY OVERNIGHT. AMONG THE TAF SITES...OLF HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF GETTING FOG AS THEY WILL HAVE LIGHT WINDS. NORTHWEST WINDS ELSEWHERE MAKES FOG LESS LIKELY TONIGHT. UPPER RIDGE ON TUESDAY WILL BRING CLEAR SKIES. && .HYDROLOGY... HYDRO CONCERNS QUICKLY WANING. GAUGE ON THE MUSSELSHELL NEAR MOSBY SHOWING RIVER STAGE ALREADY BACK ON ITS WAY DOWN THIS AFTERNOON. OTHER GAUGES ALSO BEHAVING THIS AFTERNOON.
