205 PM MDT THU JUL 31 2008

.DISCUSSION...THE UPPER RIDGE SLOWLY BUILDING TO THE EAST WILL KEEP
THE FCST AREA UNDER SW FLOW. THE TRAJECTORY WILL PREVENT ANY FLOW OF
MONSOON MSTR INTO EASTERN ID FOR THE MOST PART. THE GFS AND NAM12
STILL SHOW LIMITED MSTR CREEPING INTO THE FCST AREA OVER THE WEEKEND
AS A TROF DROPS INTO WA. MOST WILL BE NORTH...BUT WHAT DOES MAKE IT
SHOULD ONLY RESULT IN ISOLD AFTN/EVE TSTMS OVER THE NORTHERN MTNS.
THIS TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THRU THE END OF THE FCST PERIOD.
