AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GLASGOW MT 257 AM MDT FRI JUN 1 2007 .SHORT TERM...FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY... EARLY MORNING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CONTINUED TO SHOW A CLOSED UPPER LOW ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA WITH A WELL DEFINED DRY SLOT WRAPPING ACROSS OUR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES AND INTO THE CIRCULATION CENTER. THIS SYSTEM HAS MORE THAN OVERSTAYED ITS WELCOME AND WILL SLOWLY DEPART THE REGION STARTING TONIGHT. MAIN DEFORMATION ZONE ACROSS PHILLIPS AND PETROLEUM COUNTIES HAS CONTINUED TO WEAKEN WITH ONLY A FEW LIGHT RAIN BANDS LEFTOVER. IN THE NEAR TERM...IR FOG CHANNEL IS REVEALING AN EXPANDING LIFR STRATUS LAYER FROM ISN SOUTHWEST TO GGW THANKS TO SUFFICIENT CLEARING AND DEWPOINTS NEAR 10C. WENT AHEAD AND INTRODUCED PATCHY FOG WORDING FOR EARLY THIS MORNING ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA AS SOME AREAS MAY SEE THIS DECK LOWER TO THE SURFACE AT/AROUND SUNRISE. OTHERWISE...PRECIPITATION CHANCES WERE LOWERED TODAY WITH JUST CHANCE/SLIGHT CHANCE WORDING AS UPPER LOW ADVANCES SLOWLY EASTWARD. REDUCED SKY COVER AS WELL AREA WIDE GIVEN CONTINUED DECAY OF DEFORMATION ZONE AND SUBSIDENCE WITHIN DRY SLOT. THREAT FOR ADDITIONAL SMALL STREAM FLOODING IS NOT FORESEEN. TEMPERATURES TRICKY TODAY AS CLOUD COVERAGE AND EVOLUTION WILL BE DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT. FOR NOW...WENT WITH COOLER VALUES ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND FAR WEST. POP CHANCES WIND DOWN TONIGHT AND EXPECT CLEARING SKIES TO RAPIDLY TAKE FOOT FROM WEST TO EAST BY EARLY SATURDAY AHEAD OF UPPER RIDGING. THREAT STILL EXISTS FOR A FEW MORNING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED AFTERNOON STORMS ACROSS THE FAR EAST ON SATURDAY AHEAD OF A ROGUE SHORTWAVE TROUGH WRAPPING AROUND THE UPPER LOW...BUT MOST AREAS WILL SEE A PLEASANT WARMING TREND WITH LIGHT WINDS. UPPER RIDGING REMAINS JUST TO OUR WEST ON SUNDAY...BUT 850MB TEMPS STILL MANAGE TO RISE A FEW DEGREES FROM SATURDAY WARRANTING HIGHS IN THE LOW 80S MOST PLACES. MCZ .LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY... PERIOD STARTS OFF WITH A RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN STATES THAT BECOMES FLATTENED BY LATE TUESDAY AS A PACIFIC TROUGH MOVES IN. THE MODELS WERE RATHER INCONSISTENT BEYOND THIS POINT AS THEY ARE HAVING A HARD TIME RESOLVING A TROPICAL SYSTEM THAT MOVES UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE SYSTEM BECOMES ABSORBED INTO A LARGE OPEN TROUGH (OVER THE GREAT LAKES) THAT LIFTS OUT DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE GFS ENSEMBLES THEN SHOW MOSTLY AN OPEN WAVE THAT MOVES THROUGH THE WEST BUT THE OPERATIONAL RUN SHOWS A CLOSED LOW MOVING OUT OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND INTO CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS BY FRIDAY. AM A LITTLE BIT HESITANT WITH THIS SOLUTION AS OTHER MODELS ARE SHOWING MORE OF AN OPEN PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM. OTHERWISE...IT LOOKS LIKE A RETURN TO A WETTER PATTERN BY TUESDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE CWA. TEMPS START OFF ABOVE NORMAL MONDAY AND TUESDAY THANKS TO THE RIDGE BUT COOL TO BELOW NORMAL WEDNESDAY. SOME RIDGING IS EXPECTED TO RETURN AT THE END OF THIS PERIOD BUT OFTEN TIMES THE ATMOSPHERE TENDS TO BE UNSTABLE ON THE BACKSIDE OF A TROUGH. WITH PLENTIFUL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AROUND...WILL LEAN MORE ON THE WETTER SIDE OF THINGS FOR NOW. JAMBA && .AVIATION... PATCHY LIFR CONDITIONS THIS MORNING SHOULD BURN OFF THIS MORNING. SEE TAFS FOR DETAILS. LOW CLOUDS/FOG SHOULD LIFT TO SCATTERED CUMULUS FOR GLENDIVE/SIDNEY AND WOLF POINT. A VFR CEILING MAY HANG TOUGH AT GLASGOW THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. PATCHY FOG IS A POSSIBILITY AGAIN LATE TONIGHT ESPECIALLY AT WOLF POINT. JAMBA && .HYDROLOGY... HAVEN/T HAD RECENT REPORTS OF FLOODING FROM STREAMS...SO WILL LET THE SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY EXPIRE THIS MORNING.
