Fxus65 kmso 251954 afdmso area forecast discussion national weather service missoula mt 154 pm mdt Sun jun 25 2017 Discussion It's been yet another gorgeous day across the northern rockies with temperatures running 5 to 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. And while it's going to be a gorgeous night, changes are on the horizon. For the past several days weather models have consistently honed in on an area of monsoonal moisture that was residing over northern mexico and forecast to drift northwest around the high pressure ridge. Over the past 24 hours this moisture has been slowly drifting northward over nevada, california and even off the coast of california. All models bring this moisture into idaho and montana in sync with a rather robust mid-level disturbance associated with a weak upper level low pressure system presently near 34n 133w. All these things considered we are expecting strong and potentially severe thunderstorms to develop late Monday afternoon with convection continuing overnight. The storm prediction center has recently expanded the area highlighted as marginal risk for severe thunderstorms to now include all of central idaho and much of western montana. Gusty outflow winds are likely to be the greatest severe threat during the late afternoon given that the atmosphere will initially remain quite dry and the combination of maximum heating, producing high temperatures well into the upper 80s and 90s (a few locations in central idaho could even tip the century mark), with low dew points will result in dew point depressions greater than 50 degrees. This is typically a key characteristic which indicates an

atmosphere supportive of strong outflow wind gusts from mountain thunderstorms. Right now gusts to near 50 mph are possible. But a few stronger storms could support stronger winds that may become severe (gusting 57 mph or greater). The atmosphere will continue to support strong thunderstorms well into Monday evening as the mid level disturbance propagates very slowly through the region. Patterns such as these that lack appreciable upper level flow tend to linger and remain supportive of overnight (nocturnal) thunderstorm activity that is likely to still be active into Tuesday morning. But overnight the atmosphere will significantly moisten, thus transitioning the key threats from gusty winds to heavy rain and occasional small hail. Thereafter forecast models maintain NW flow across the northern rockies, a pattern supportive of normal temperatures with periodic chances for afternoon showers and or thunderstorms. A brief warm up still appears possible late in the week or early next weekend before the longer term models start leaning towards possibly cooler weather and showers for the independence day holiday. Aviation Mostly clear conditions and light winds are expected under warm high pressure through 26 1800z. Clouds begin to increase thereafter. Mso watches warnings advisories Mt... None. Id... None.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
