AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOISE ID
345 AM MDT SUN AUG 5 2007

.SHORT TERM...A WEDGE OF VERY DRY AIR FROM THE SOUTHWEST CONTINUES
TO SPREAD OVER THE FORECAST AREA.  MEANWHILE...THE UPPER TROF ALONG
THE WEST COAST REMAINS IN PLACE AND WILL NOT MAKE MUCH EASTWARD
PROGRESS. BOTH GFS AND NAM OPERATIONAL INDICATE THAT A WEAK IMPULSE
WILL ROTATE NORTHEAST FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND GIVE SOUTHERN
SECTIONS OF EASTERN OREGON A CHANCE FOR MAINLY DRY THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS APPEAR TO BE
WEAK...SO NOT LOOKING FOR MUCH COVERAGE OR INTENSITY TO ACTIVITY
THAT DOES FORM.  MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW A SHALLOW LAYER OF MID AND
UPPER MOISTURE WITH LI/S IN THE ZERO TO MINUS ONE RANGE WITH CAPE
AVERAGING ABOUT 100-200 J/KG. MAX TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE A FEW DEGREES
COOLER TODAY WITH HEIGHTS AND THICKNESSES CONTINUING TO FALL AHEAD
OF WEST COAST TROF. MONDAY FEATURES ANOTHER DAY OF SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND LIMITED POPS AS A SECOND WEAK WAVE IMPULSE MOVES
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. RED FLAG CONDITIONS MAY GET CLOSE AGAIN
TODAY IN SOUTHEAST OREGON AND THE WEST CENTRAL MOUNTAINS BUT RIGHT
NOW AREAL COVERAGE TO THE STRONGER WINDS APPEARS LIMITED. EXPECT A
FEW LOCAL AREAS TO REACH RED FLAG CRITERIA DUE TO WINDS AND LOW RH.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO
AGREE WITH A TROUGH ALONG THE WEST COAST WITH THE TOP OF THE TROUGH
SHEARING OFF AND MOVING TO THE EAST ON TUESDAY AND WILL LEAVE THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE TROUGH OFF THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.  ONCE THE NORTHERN
SECTION OF THE TROUGH MOVES EAST A WEAK RIDGE WILL REBUILD OVER THE
FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.  ANOTHER WEAK TROUGH WILL DROP
SOUTH ALONG THE CANADIAN COAST AND WILL END UP OFF THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST COAST ON THURSDAY AND THEN WILL MOVE EAST OVER NORTHERN
IDAHO LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY.  THIS WEATHER PATTERN WILL KEEP THE
FORECAST AREA IN A DRY SOUTHWEST FLOW BUT ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR A
SMALL CHANCE OF AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  TEMPERATURES
WILL BEGIN NEAR NORMAL ON TUESDAY AND SLOWLY WARM THROUGH THE END OF
THE WEEK.  TEMPERATURES BY SATURDAY WILL BE 3 TO 5 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS OVER THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT WITH A DRY
SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE REGION.  EXCEPT FOR MVFR CONDITIONS FROM
SMOKE IN THE VICINITY OF WILD FIRES IN THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS OF
IDAHO...SKIES WILL BE GENERALLY CLEAR.  THERE IS SOME MOISTURE IN
THE SOUTHWEST FLOW SO COULD SEE ISOLATED AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
NEAR KTWF AND KJER.  SURFACE WINDS WILL BE LIGHT TODAY FROM THE WEST
WITH MODERATE TO STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS ALOFT.
