NWS Forecaster Discussion
737 fxus65 kbyz 182014 afdbyz Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Billings Montana 214 PM MDT Friday Jul 18 2008 Short term...valid for Sat and sun... Active evening anticipated as ingredients coming together for severe weather potential...watch issued for central and eastern counties. Upper jet dynamics will nose into southern Montana/northern Wyoming while low level moisture increases on a south to southeast flow at the surface in the central and eastern zones through the day. Cape values should approach 1000-2000 j/kg in these areas. The jet aloft and southeast winds at the surface will create a favorable shear profile and may possibly see some good rotation in storms near the southeast corner of Montana by late afternoon or early evening. Good energy moving across our region as well to aid upper dynamics. Storms currently developing to west should intensify as they move off to the east over a juicier environment. Conditions should be ripe for the development of a mesoscale convective system by middle evening in the far east sections. Heavy rain due to precipitation water values well over an inch in the central and east. Any training echoes may be a problem for flash flooding in east this evening. Once activity is east this evening it should slowly propagate eastward out of the region. Drier air moving into much of the area overnight in its wake. Upper wave will be moving across Canada may spread some energy down into northeast Montana and clip our far eastern zones late Saturday. A ridge will then build into rockies from the south Sunday. This may allow a little monsoon moisture into the mountains in the southern zones...but will otherwise mean warmer temperatures. Bt Long term...valid for Monday...Tue...Wed...Thu...Fri... Very few changes made to the extended forecast this afternoon. Models still in fairly good agreement but do differ on the timing of some of the features. Upper level ridge builds in for Monday with some stronger energy moving through the flow on the GFS model with the European model (ecmwf) not as strong with the energy. Ridge starts to break down on Tuesday and Wednesday with a southwest flow setting up. Several pieces of energy moving through the flow through the end of next week. GFS showing signs of a building ridge into next weekend with the European model (ecmwf) holding onto the southwest flow. So overall...with probability of precipitation...have kept at least a slight chance of precipitation in for most periods for most locations. Temperatures do look warmest on Monday with ridge in place and a slight cool down beyond that as southwest flow sets up. Solum && Aviation... Scattered thunderstorms will develop this afternoon across much of the area. Some severe storms are possible east of a Red Lodge to Big Timber to Ryegate line through this evening...with large hail the main threat. MVFR conditions are expected in heavy rain with any storms...with IFR conditions possible with the strongest storms. Outside of storms VFR conditions will prevail through tonight.
