AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOISE ID
235 PM MST WED DEC 28 2005

.SHORT TERM...COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH AREA THIS EVENING WILL LOWER
SNOW LEVEL SIGNIFICANTLY. FREEZING LEVELS START OUT NEAR 7000 FEET
OR ABOVE AND WILL LOWER TO 3000 FEET BY THU MORNING. SO HAVE KEPT TH
HEAVY SNOW WARNING OUT FOR THE MOUNTAINS AS ANOTHER 5 TO 8 INCHES
COULD FALL TONIGHT IN THE COLD UPSLOPE FLOW. LOOKS LIKE A SHORT
REPRIEVE FROM THE WEATHER LATER THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT THEN
THE NEXT PACIFIC STORM HEADS OUR WAY. FRIDAY LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE
ANOTHER WET PERIOD WITH MORE HEAVY SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS. MAIN SHORT
TERM CONCERN IS EXTENT OF RIVER RISES...ESPECIALLY WEISER. ALREADY
HAVE A FLOOD WATCH OUT AND WILL BE CONSIDERING A WARNING NEXT FEW
HOURS. INITIAL THOUGHT IS WEISER NEAR WEISER WILL GO JUST A TAD
ABOVE FLOOD STAGE. UPDATE ON RIVER WILL COME SHORTLY. OTHER ISSUE IS
AMOUNT OF SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS. CONFIDENT IN ARRIVAL OF COLD FRONT
THIS EVENING AND SNOW AMOUNTS CURRENTLY FORECAST LOOK GOOD.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THERE IS GOOD
AGREEMENT BETWEEN MODELS IN KEEPING A PROGRESSIVE WET PATTERN
THROUGHOUT THE NORTHWEST. A FEW BREAKS WILL OCCUR IN THE
PRECIPITATION...BUT EXACT TIMING IS STILL UNCERTAIN IN THE EXTENDED.
HAVE KEPT ABOVE CLIMO POPS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD AND DID NOT TRY TO
TIME THE EXACT BREAKS. SOME LINGERING COLDER AIR WILL LEAD TO THE
POSSIBILITY OF SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
OTHERWISE...SNOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN HIGH AND MOST OF THE
PRECIPITATION WILL COME AS RAIN OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX. HEAVY CLOUD
COVER ALONG WITH A MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
NEW YEAR LEADING TO TEMPERATURES RUNNING AROUND TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE
CLIMATOLOGY. A TIGHTER GRADIENT WILL EXIST AS EACH SHORTWAVE PASSES
THROUGH LEADING TO WINDY AND LOCALLY GUSTY CONDITIONS.

DROPPING FROM ABOUT 7000 FT AHEAD OF IT TO 3000 FEET BEHIND IT.
WIDESPREAD MOUNTAIN OBSCUREMENT WITH THIS SYSTEM AS WELL AS MVFR OR

THE FRONT WILL BRING OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS. IMPROVED CONDITIONS
TO MOSTLY VFR IS EXPECTED THURSDAY WITH THIS AREA IN BETWEEN WEATHER
SYSTEMS.
