  COUNTIES
  MOYIE RIVER AT EASTPORT AFFECTING BOUNDARY COUNTY  
  ST JOE RIVER AT ST MARIES AFFECTING BENEWAH AND SHOSHONE COUNTIES

THE RAPID SNOWMELT EXPERIENCED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS HAS
EASED CONSIDERABLY DUE TO THE PASSAGE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT.
THE WANING SNOWMELT WAS PARTIALLY OFFSET TODAY BY WIDESPREAD 
RAINFALL OF A QUARTER TO HALF INCH OVER MUCH OF NORTH IDAHO AND EXTREME
EASTERN WASHINGTON. WIDESPREAD RAINS HAVE GENERALLY ENDED FOR THE NIGHT
AND THIS COMBINED WITH THE SLOWING SNOWMELT WILL ALLOW MOST OF THE 
RIVERS TO EITHER MAINTAIN THEIR CURRENT LEVELS OR SLOWLY FALL THROUGH 
WEDNESDAY. THE ONLY EXCEPTIONS WILL OCCUR IN THE SLOWLY DRAINING 
LAKE COEUR DALENE SYSTEM IMPACTING THE LAKE LEVEL AS WELL AS THE SPOKANE
AND ST. JOE RIVERS. MINOR RISES ARE ALSO EXPECTED ON THE MOYIE RIVER AT EASTPORT
DUE TO HEAVIER RAINS OVER EXTREME NORTHERN IDAHO.  

NEVER DRIVE CARS...TRUCKS OR SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES THROUGH FLOODED 
AREAS. THE WATER MAY BE TO DEEP TO ALLOW FOR SAFE PASSAGE.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPOKANE WA
1055 AM PDT TUE MAY 20 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A TRANSITION TO A WETTER AND COOLER WEATHER PATTERN WILL BE IN
FULL FORCE TODAY...WITH THIS UNSTABLE PATTERN LINGERING MUCH OF THE
REST OF THE WEEK. THOUGH THE COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL PRODUCE LESS
MOUNTAIN SNOW MELT RIVER RISES...EXPECT QUITE A BIT OF PRECIPITATION
IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH IDAHO AND FAR EASTERN WASHINGTON THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
REST OF TODAY...A COLD FRONT IS PUSHING ACROSS CENTRAL WASHINGTON
AND ADVANCING EAST THIS MORNING. A SWATH OF RAIN SHOWERS IS
SPREADING NORTH...THUS FAR PRODUCING ABOUT TRACE TO A HUNDREDTH OF
AN INCH PER PER HOUR. SOME INSTABILITY IN ADVANCE OF THIS FRONT
HAS ALSO BEEN PRODUCING A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHEAST
OREGON AND WEST-CENTRAL IDAHO. THESE ARE TRACKING NORTH NORTHEAST
AND BRING THIS RISK INTO THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF THE CWA
TODAY. THE UPPER TROUGH IS ALSO PIVOTING ONTO THE COAST AND THIS
WILL BE THE FINAL IMPETUS TO SURGE THE COLD FRONT THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE CWA AND INCREASING THE LARGE-SCALE LIFT/DEEP
OMEGA ACROSS THE EASTERN THIRD OF WA/NRN IDAHO. THIS IS EXPECTED
TO INCREASE THE PRECIP RATES THIS AFTERNOON...BEFORE THE PRECIP
BEGINS TO SHIFT PRIMARILY INTO IDAHO TOWARD EVENING AND DISSIPATE.
TWEAK WERE MADE TO TEMPERATURES...ADJUSTING THEN DOWN A BIT ACROSS
THE WESTERN CWA AND PUTTING TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE EASTERN CWA
MORE IN LINE WITH CURRENT OBS. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE EASTERN CWA
ARE PROJECTED TO EITHER REMAIN LARGELY STEADY OR SLOWLY FALL
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE WESTERN CWA WILL HAVE BETTER OPPORTUNITY
TO WARM UP SOME THIS AFTERNOON AS THE GREATER PRECIP FOCUS SHIFTS
EAST AND SOME SUN BREAKS IN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME BREEZY THIS AFTERNOON AS WELL. /JCOTE

.AVIATION...
A COLD FRONT PRESSING ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAY TUESDAY AND
AND UPPER TROUGH MOVING IN BEHIND IT WILL PRODUCE AREAS OF
LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN ACROSS THE EASTERN TAF SITES (KGEG TO KCOE
AND KPUW/KLWS). THE PRECIP WILL BE STEADIEST IN THE AFTERNOON
HOURS AND COULD BE MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES...AND REDUCE
CIGS TO MVFR LEVELS. MORE SCT -SHRA ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
WESTERN TAF SITES. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE A RISK OVER THE EASTERN
TAF SITES...BUT AS A WHOLE THE OVERALL BEST RISK FOR THUNDER IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN SOUTHEAST OF TAF SITES. LOOK FOR A REDUCTION IN
THE PRECIP RISK FROM  THE WEST LATER THIS AFTERNOON (TOWARD 21-22Z)
AND OVER THE EASTERN TAF SITES IN THE EARLY EVENING (00-04Z)...WITH
IMPROVING SKIES.  BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL BE FOUND WITH AND BEHIND
THE COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON...DECREASING SOME IN THE
EVENING/OVERNIGHT. WITH THE RAIN ON TUESDAY (ADDING BL MOISTURE) AND
THE ENERGY PIVOTING AROUND THE UPPER TROUGH AND LOW LEVEL SWLY FLOW
OVERNIGHT...SOME CLOUD RE-DEVELOPMENT IS PROJECTED WHICH COULD
PRODUCE SOME LCL MVFR CIGS TOWARD WEDNESDAY MORNING. /JCOTE
