NWS Forecaster Discussion
879 fxus65 kmso 212146 afdmso Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Missoula Montana 246 PM MST Sat Nov 21 2009 Discussion...shower activity is expected to wane this evening as a shortwave ridge builds ahead of an approaching upper level trough. This will allow skies to clear enough to see a quick drop in temperatures after sunset and the potential for some valley fog formation...mainly in north central Idaho valleys. The upper level trough is expected to begin to move through the northern rockies during the day Sunday. This feature will be accompanied with a strong upper level jet and surface cold front...which will combine with abundant moisture to produce widespread precipitation over most all of western Montana and north central Idaho. Temperatures are expected to remain cool enough that all but the lowest valleys (below 2500 feet) should see precipitation fall as snow. The most favorable dynamics with this system will be focused over north central Idaho however...and thus the best snow production is expected over the Clearwater and Bitterroot Mountains. In addition to expected accumulating snow in these areas...gusty southwest to west winds will create lowered visibility and hazardous driving conditions over portions of northcentral Idaho and western Montana. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued...please see www.Weather.Gov/Missoula for further details. The upper level trough will move eastward overnight Sunday...bringing a northwesterly flow over the region. While the heaviest precipitation should come to an end...there is the possibility of banded precipitation developing in to Monday. Tuesday through Sunday...a shortwave trough will pass to the north along the Montana Canadian border on Tuesday bringing a chance for precipitation in northwest Montana before a high pressure ridge begins to overtake the region. This high pressure has been showing similar timing and slightly different amplitudes between the European model (ecmwf) and the GFS. The amplifying ridge will pose a threat of widespread valley fog starting Wednesday morning. Model plan views and cross sections show energy passing through the ridge Wednesday morning... which could inhibit valley inversion development...however...model sounding for the same time frame do show inversions initiating...so will keep the mention of fog in the forecast. High pressure looks to linger into Thursday with drier...subsiding air and strong inversions forecast by model soundings. This is somewhat different from yesterday...but these features would promote fog on Thursday. Will continue to monitor fog potential especially for the Glacier Park International Airport and the Missoula Airport as Holiday airline travel may become adversely effected. && Aviation...strong west-southwest surface winds will continue through early Saturday evening and clouds will be on the increase as the next Pacific weather system pushes into the northern rockies. Snow showers will start to spread across the Idaho Panhandle and northwest Montana Sunday morning...mostly after 22/1200z. The remainder of western Montana and north central Idaho will see showers spread areawide later midday Sunday. Significantly lowered ceilings and reductions in visibility will be possible with heavier snow showers at the terminals. Surface winds will remain breezy... but to a lesser degree than winds observed on Saturday. Obscurations of mountains and passes can be expected. && Mso watches/warnings/advisories... Montana...Winter Weather Advisory from 8 am to 11 PM MST Sunday for Lower Clark Fork region. Winter Weather Advisory from 8 am to 11 PM MST Sunday for Bitterroot/Sapphire Mountains. Idaho...Winter Weather Advisory from 7 am to 10 PM PST Sunday for Orofino/Grangeville region. Winter Weather Advisory from 7 am to 10 PM PST Sunday for northern Clearwater Mountains-southern Clearwater Mountains. && $$ Short term...pallister long term....kitsmiller aviation...Nolte
