AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
250 PM MDT TUE OCT 2 2007

.DISCUSSION...A POTENT UPPER LEVEL JET EXTENDING ACROSS THE ERN
PACIFIC TODAY WILL PUSH INLAND OVERNIGHT PRODUCING STRONG WINDS
THROUGHOUT THE SNAKE RIVER VALLEY WEDNESDAY. NAM STATISTICAL
GUIDANCE WAS NOSING UP TOWARD HIGH WIND WARNING LEVELS WHILE THE
OUTPUT FROM A LOCAL STUDY WAS SHOWING SUB-WARNING (ADVISORY) LEVEL
WINDS. HENCE A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE SNAKE RIVER
VALLEY ZONES. THE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BUCKLE THURSDAY WITH A CLOSED
500MB LOW DIGGING INTO SRN IDAHO THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY WITH A
CORRESPONDING INCREASE IN PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL ACROSS THE REGION
AS THE LOW MOVES SLOWLY EAST ACROSS SRN IDAHO THROUGH SATURDAY. THE
POSITION AND TRACK OF THE LOW PLACES SE IDAHO IN A PRIME REGION FOR
ACCUMULATING PRECIPITATION WITH SNOW LEVELS REMAINING HIGH ENOUGH TO
AVOID ANY WINTER WARNINGS/ADVISORIES AT THIS TIME. THE MODELS HAVE
TRENDED SLOWER WITH THIS SYSTEM PRIMARILY DUE TO ITS CLOSED NATURE
SO WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR ADDITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS. THE LOW
EVENTUALLY EXITS EAST OF THE REGION SUNDAY WITH A SHORT-WAVE RIDGE
BUILDING OVER THE AREA AHEAD OF THE NEXT PAC SYSTEM. THE MODELS
CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH VARIOUS SOLUTIONS ON TRACK AND TIMING OF
THIS WAVE WHICH ADDS LITTLE TO OVERALL CONFIDENCE. THUS HAVE
GENERALLY ALLOWED INTRODUCTION OF LOW END POPS LATE IN THE PERIOD
(NEXT TUESDAY). HUSTON
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...THE MAIN STORY THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL BE THE WIND
AND MTN SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MTNS. STRONG FLOW
ALOFT WILL BASICALLY SIT ON TOP OF NORTHERN ID INTO THUR. THE FIRST
CONSEQUENCE OF THIS IS DIRECTING ANY MOISTURE FOR CLOUDS/PRECIP
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF EASTERN ID. THE
BIGGER STORY IS VERY STRONG WINDS EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE
HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND THE SNAKE RIVER PLAIN. A WIND ADVISORY IS
EXPECTED FOR THE SNAKE PLAIN AND EASTERN MAGIC VALLEY WITH GUSTS IN
SOME AREAS IN EXCESS OF 40 TO 45 MPH. FOR THURS...A TROF BEGINS TO
TAKE SHAPE ACROSS THE PAC NW WHICH WILL BEGIN IT PUSH STRONGER WIND
FLOW ALOFT TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. EXPECT VERY BREEZY CONDITIONS ON
THUR ALTHOUGH NOT AS STRONG AS THE DAY BEFORE. TROF WILL PUSH INTO
THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST/NORTHERN ROCKIES AND AFFECT EASTERN ID INTO
THE WEEKEND. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE SOME PRETTY COLD AIR WITH IT
MEANING THE POSSIBILITY OF SNOW EVEN IN THE LOWEST ELEVATIONS AT
TIMES. KEYES
&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED INTO WED OVER MUCH OF EASTERN
ID...EXCEPT OVER HIGHER TERRAIN IN THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA.
RAIN AND MTN SNOW WILL AFFECT THIS AREA WITH POCKETS OF MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN THE NORTHERN MTNS. THE OTHER STORY WILL BE
STRONG WINDS ACROSS THE HIGHER PEAKS AND THE SNAKE PLAIN/EASTERN
MAGIC VALLEY. SUSTAINED WINDS IN EXCESS OF 20 KTS ARE EXPECTED ALONG
WITH GUSTS AT TIMES IN EXCESS OF 35 KTS IN THESE LOCATIONS. THIS
WILL AFFECT ALL TAF SITES EXCEPT KSUN WHICH SHOULD REMAIN SHELTERED
FROM THE STRONGEST WINDS BUT STILL A BREEZY WED IN THE FCST FOR THAT
TAF SITE. MORE OF THE SAME FOR THUR EXCEPT FOR LIGHTER WINDS
ALTHOUGH STILL EXPECTED A RATHER BREEZY DAY FOR EASTERN ID.  KEYES
