AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOISE ID
341 AM MDT SUN JUN 24 2007

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL BE A FEW
DEGREES COOLER TODAY REACHING THE LOW 80S IN MOST VALLEY
LOCATIONS AND THE LOW 70S IN THE MOUNTAINS. A COLD FRONT WILL PASS
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT ACCOMPANIED WITH BREEZY
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTHERN BAKER COUNTY AND IN NORTHERN VALLEY
COUNTY...THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL BE DRY. MONDAY WILL BE MOSTLY
SUNNY AND COOL BEHIND THE FRONT WITH TEMPERATURES ABOUT 10 DEGREES
COOLER THAN TODAY. HIGHS ON MONDAY WILL ONLY REACH THE LOW 70S IN
VALLEY LOCATIONS AND THE LOW 60S IN THE MOUNTAINS.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...NO MAJOR CHANGES THIS
MORNING AS FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. UPPER
TROUGH EXITS PACIFIC NORTHWEST MONDAY NIGHT INTO THE NORTHERN
PLAINS. UPPER RIDGE BUILDS NORTHWARD ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST
IN RESPONSE TO DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH OFF THE WESTERN COAST OF
CANADA. TEMPERATURES REBOUND QUICKLY TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WITH
850-700MB THICKNESS CLIMBING INTO THE 1660 TO 1680 METERS RANGE
CORRESPONDING TO UPPER 80S TO MID 90S IN THE TREASURE VALLEY.
WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK WITH THE THERMAL
AXIS OVER SOUTHWEST IDAHO. HEIGHTS AND THICKNESSES GRADUALLY FALL
STARTING FRIDAY AS UPPER TROUGH SLOWLY SHIFTS INTO THE NORTHWEST
COAST. UPPER LOW TAPS INTO A LARGE SWATH OF PACIFIC MOISTURE /OVER
AN INCH AND A HALF OF PRECIPITABLE WATERS/ WHICH WILL SPREAD INTO
THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL MOISTEN THE
ATMOSPHERE UP FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE WEEKEND. THOUGH
MODELS ARE CONSISTENT WITH SLOW WESTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE
LOW...THEY CONTINUE TO LACK CONSISTENCY IN TIMING OF THE
PRECIPITATION. THE TIMING DIFFICULTIES SURROUND THE OMEGA BLOCK OVER
THE CENTRAL U.S. WHICH THE MODELS CONSISTENTLY HAVE A HARD TIME
RESOLVING. HOW FAR THE OMEGA BLOCK SHIFTS EAST WILL DETERMINE THE
EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER LOW. SINCE THE CWA REMAIN IN
BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES...CONFIDENCE IN WEEKEND TEMPERATURE AND
PRECIPITATION FORECASTS ARE LOW. HAVE INCREASED POPS INTO THE CHANCE
CATEGORY THROUGH SATURDAY AND WOULD EXPECT THE INCREASING TREND IN
POPS TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. TEMPERATURES WILL STILL
REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND THOUGH DEPENDING ON THE
TROUGH TIMING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...TEMPS COULD BE COOLER
THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST. WILL WAIT FOR BETTER MODEL CONSISTENCY
BEFORE MAKING BIG CHANGES TO THE FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES.
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL AVERAGE 15-25 KTS BETWEEN 10-15K FT MSL
DURING THE DAY THEN INCREASE TO 30-40 KTS FROM THE WEST OVERNIGHT.
W-NW SURFACE WINDS WILL BE LIGHT WITH LOCAL GUSTS UP TO 25 KTS.
COULD SEE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACROSS THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS OF
OREGON AND CENTRAL MOUNTAINS OF IDAHO THIS AFTERNOON.
