AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GLASGOW MT 152 PM MDT TUE SEP 26 2006 .SHORT TERM...FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY... NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE MONTANA AND THE DAKOTAS HAS BROUGHT SOME WET AND COOLER WEATHER TODAY THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE REINFORCED TONIGHT. DRYING CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO RETURN WED WITH WARMER TEMPS THU. MODELS SEEM TO BE HANDLING CURRENT CONDITIONS AND ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THROUGH THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS. HOWEVER SIDED MORE WITH GFS SOLUTION AS IT HAS OUT PERFORMED LATELY. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE SEEN ON WATER VAPOR CHANNEL OVER NORTHERN ALBERTA DIVING SOUTH-SOUTHEAST. AREA OF CLOUDS/SHOWERS NORTH-NORTHWEST OF SASKATOON SASK AN INDICATION OF WHAT/S EXPECTED TONIGHT. NAM AND GFS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH IT SLIDING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE NE ZONES AFTER 9 PM TONIGHT. PRETTY GOOD LIFT INDICATED AS WELL...BUT DIFFICULTY WITH IT/S SMALL SIZE. INCREASED POPS ACCORDINGLY OVER THE NE ZONES ESPECIALLY FOR LATE TONIGHT. COLD AIR ADVECTION THEN LOOKS TO TAKE PLACE BEHIND THIS DISTURBANCE. SOME MIXING LOOKS TO OCCUR AND NORTHWEST WINDS INCREASE TO NEAR LAKE WIND CRITERIA. SURFACE HIGH THEN IS EXPECTED TO SETTLE INTO THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY ALLOWING SKIES TO BE CLEAR AROUND SUNSET. WITH LIGHT WINDS...TEMPS SHOULD FALL SLIGHTLY BELOW GUIDANCE NUMBERS. UPPER RIDGE OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WEDNESDAY BECOMES FLATTENED WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A DISTURBANCE CRESTS IT...THEN DROPS SOUTHEAST INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL CANADA THURSDAY. THE GFS HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY SHOWING THE POSSIBILITY OF SHOWERS WITH THIS DISTURBANCE FOR SEVERAL RUNS NOW...SO THREW IN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON OVER THE NE ZONES. SURFACE CONVERGENCE SHOULD HELP THINGS WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. WINDS LOOK TO INCREASE A BIT FROM THE WEST THURSDAY AFTERNOON. -TFJ .LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY... NO BIG REVELATIONS WITH THE 12Z GUIDANCE AND THUS NOT PLANNING TO MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE FORECAST. THE EXTENDED PERIOD STARTS OFF WITH A RIDGE ALONG THE WEST COAST AND A TROUGH ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE UNITED STATES. THE UPPER RIDGE SLOWLY PUSHES EAST THIS WEEKEND. LATEST GFS AND CANADIAN INDICATE THAT CHANNELED VORTICITY AND MOISTURE IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THURSDAY NIGHT COULD LEAD TO SOME VIRGA OR A VERY ISOLATED SHOWER...BUT MORE LIKELY JUST THE PASSAGE OF SOME MID-LEVEL CLOUDS. IT LOOKS LIKE FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY WILL FEATURE A GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE EACH DAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE BACK INTO THE 70S BY THIS WEEKEND. THE NORTHEAST ZONES TO REMAIN CLOSEST TO THE POLAR JET...AND MAY HAVE A COUPLE OF PERIODS WHEN MID-LEVEL CLOUDS PASS THROUGH. NOT PLANNING TO MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE SKY GRIDS...BUT SHOULD BE ABLE TO REFINE THEM A BIT CLOSER TO THE TIME PERIOD BASED ON UPSTREAM OBSERVATIONS/SATELLITE. MODELS AND ENSEMBLES NOT IN THE BEST AGREEMENT BY EARLY NEXT WEEK ACROSS THE PACIFIC INTO WESTERN NORTH AMERICA. IT LOOKS LIKE A FRONT AND UPPER TROUGH MAY WORK ACROSS THE AREA EARLY IN THE WEEK WHICH MAY TOUCH OFF A COUPLE OF SHOWERS AND RETURN TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO SEASONAL AVERAGES BY TUESDAY. ALL OF THIS LOOKS TO BE WELL HANDLED IN THE GRIDS. CB ...PREVIOUS LONG TERM... MODELS STILL HOLDING THE COURSE WITH A VERY AMPLIFIED PATTERN OVER NORTH AMERICA FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND WEEKEND BEFORE THINGS BEGIN TO FLATTEN OUT SOMEWHAT FOR NEXT WEEK. SOME DISAGREEMENT OVER A DISTURBANCE IN THE NORTH-NORTHWEST FLOW FOR FRIDAY. GFS TAKES THE MAIN FEATURE INTO NORTH DAKOTA AS DO THE REST OF THE MODELS. HOWEVER...THE GFS ALSO BRINGS SOME SECONDARY ENERGY IN THE FLOW FARTHER WEST OVER EASTERN MONTANA. IT ALSO BRINGS DEEPER MOISTURE AS WELL. FOR NOW WILL GO WITH THE MAJORITY AND LEAVE THINGS DRY. WEEKEND LOOKING MILD AND DRY AS WESTERN RIDGE AXIS DRAWS CLOSER. MORE DISAGREEMENT FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK IN THE HANDLING OF ANOTHER TROF. ECMWF AND CANADIAN APPEAR FASTEST WITH THIS FEATURE...WHILE GFS LAGS. THIS DOES APPEAR TO BE A FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM SO FOR NOW WILL CHOOSE MONDAY NIGHT AS THE PERIOD TO INTRODUCE SOME SMALL POPS. ADJUSTMENTS TO TIMING CAN BE MADE AS THE WEEK GOES ALONG...IF NECESSARY. TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN COOLING MONDAY AFTER THE MILD WEEKEND AS A SURFACE FRONT COMES THRU...THEN THE UPPER TROF. && .AVIATION... SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL OCCASIONALLY LOWER THE CEILINGS TO MVFR AT TIMES TONIGHT. MUCH DRIER AIR WILL FILTER INTO THE AREA TOMORROW... WITH ANY POCKETS OF MVFR AT THE EASTERN TERMINALS QUICKLY GIVING WAY TO VFR. NORTHWEST WIND OF 15 TO 25 KTS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING...BUT WILL INCREASE TOWARD MORNING AT THE EASTERN TERMINALS TO AROUND 20 KTS...WITH GUSTS TO 30 KTS POSSIBLE. CB && .CLIMATE...

THE 2.26 INCHES OF PRECIPITATION OBSERVED THROUGH YESTERDAY IS 1.43 INCHES ABOVE NORMAL.
