000 FXUS65 KTFX 060608 AFDTFX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Great Falls MT 1208 AM MDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Aviation Section Updated. .KEY MESSAGES... - Showers and thunderstorms tonight and Sunday, become a more widespread rainfall Sunday night into Monday. - An isolated severe storm possible Sunday. - Cool temperatures to begin the week, with some warmer afternoon temperatures for a few days mid week. && .DISCUSSION... /Issued 602 PM MDT Sat Sep 5 2026/ - Meteorological Overview: A slow moving upper level low will remain to our west through Sunday, before slowly moving eastward Sunday night into Monday. Expect waves of showers/thunderstorms to move through the CWA from now through Sunday afternoon. There is the potential that a few storms could become severe on Sunday, thus much of the CWA is in a marginal risk for severe storms. As the upper level low moves eastward Sunday night into Monday, the showers will change more into a stratiform rain, with the heaviest rainfall expected over North Central MT. There is also a marginal risk for excessive rainfall that could cause flash flooding Sunday night into Mon over North Central MT. Drier and warmer conditions develop mid week, with afternoon temperatures close to 10 degrees above normal by Thursday. By next Friday, another upper level trof will start to move southward into the Pacific Northwest, resulting in a moist southwesterly flow over Montana. Thus the chances for precipitation will start to increase once again next Fri/Sat. - Forecast Confidence & Scenarios: The main concern on Sunday for any severe storms will be strong wind gusts. This system on Sunday will not be as strong as the weather system that went through the CWA on Wednesday, never the less, an isolated severe storm is possible. Additionally, some storms could also produce heavy rainfall. By Monday night, the northern portions of North Central MT could have received between 1 and 3 inches of rainfall, with isolated amounts near 4 inches possible. Overall, flooding is not expected, but in areas that exceed 3 inches, the probability of minor flooding on small streams and creaks starts to increase. Brusda && .AVIATION... 06/06Z TAF Period North-Central and Central Montana: Low stratus will move in and linger through most of the night with rain showers possible, particularly along and west of the I-15 corridor. Generally MVFR/IFR conditions are expected during this time but there is a potential for temporary reductions into LIFR should fog/mist start to develop. A larger concern will be the thunderstorm potential tomorrow afternoon and evening with the chance for gusty winds and gusty winds. Thunderstorms are expected to develop after 07/00Z, starting in the south and quickly moving to the northeast. Mountain obscuration will be a concern throughout the entire period. Southwest Montana: VFR conditions are expected to prevail over the period with gusty south winds expected to develop in the Madison River Valley Sunday afternoon. There is a low probability for some fog developing at KBZN tonight but confidence was not high enough to include it in the TAF. For KGTF: MVFR conditions for lower ceilings develop by 06/08Z with periods of IFR conditions possible between 06/10Z and 06/15Z. Winds start to gradually pick up out of the north in the early afternoon and become more northeasterly by 06/23Z. There is a chance for scattered thunderstorms across the region Sunday afternoon with a few expected to turn severe. For the KGTF vicinity there are especially concerns for hail and gusty winds, with the greatest chance for severe weather expected after 07/02Z. The crosswind potential is low at this time but the greatest concerns would be related to the thunderstorm develop expected later in the day. -thor && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
