POINTS TO SOME AREAS FLIRTING WITH A HIGH WIND WARNING. AT THIS
TIME...OPTED FOR ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS AND HAVE ISSUED WIND

FCST CALLS FOR SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 10 TO 20 KTS BY AFTN OVER MUCH
OF THE AREA SWITCHING TO WEST OR SOUTHWEST AFTER MIDNIGHT AFTER
FRONTAL PASSAGE. THERE IS GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT THE COLD FRONT
WILL ENTER THE CENTRAL MTNS BY LATER PM AND CLEAR THE ID/WY BORDER
SOMEWHERE AROUND 9Z. THE WINDS AT THEIR PEAK WITHIN THE ADVISORY

TO 45 KTS. WITH SOME HIGH AND MID MOISTURE MOVING INTO THE AREA
TODAY...ISOLATED TSTORMS ARE STILL EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE
CENTRAL MTNS DURING THE AFTN. SHEAR AND INSTABILITY PROFILES WOULD
INDICATE SOME DECENT STORM INTENSITY AND DEVELOPMENT...HOWEVER
WITH REALLY DRY SUB CLOUD LAYER AIR WOULD EXPECT ISOLATED ACTIVITY
PRODUCING LITTLE IF ANY RAIN AND SOME GUSTY DOWNDRAFT WINDS. AT
THIS TIME...NO SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED. EXPECT A WARMER DAY AS

FCST HIGH OF 80 WITH A RECORD OF 81 AND POCATELLO HAS A FCST OF 78
WITH A RECORD OF 79. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL MOISTEN UP POST FRONTAL
TONIGHT AND THROUGH TUESDAY. BOTH GFS AND NAM INDICATE
PRECIPITATION WILL BE MOSTLY LIKELY IN THE MTNS SPECIFICALLY THE
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MTNS. FCST GRIDS CONTINUE TO SHOW SLIGHT
CHC/LOW CHANCE POPS FOR THE VALLEY ZONES DURING THE DAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH COLDER...AS MUCH AS 30 DEGREES OR SO
BEHIND THE FRONT. BY TUESDAY EVENING AND NIGHT...TROF AXIS WILL
CROSS EASTERN ID KEEPING RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS FOR THE MTNS AND
EASTERN FRINGES OF THE SNAKE PLAIN. WILL NEED TO WATCH PORTIONS OF
THE SNAKE PLAIN FOR A CONVERGENCE ZONE TYPE EVENT DURING THIS
TIME. FOR WEDNESDAY...NW FLOW DEVELOPS ON THE BACK SIDE OF UPPER

EASTERN MTNS. WINDS WILL WEAKEN CONSIDERABLY BUT SOME AREAS WILL
STILL SEE A BREEZE ON WED. AFTN TEMPS WILL RECOVER ONLY SLIGHTLY
ON WED WITH HIGHS IN THE 30S AND 40S WITH THE WARMEST SPOTS AROUND
50. KEYES
