AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
234 PM MST MON JAN 14 2008

.SHORT TERM...SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE NEAR 135W WILL CROSS
SOUTHEAST IDAHO TUESDAY MORNING. ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT
REACHES THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS ABOUT 12Z AND BY 18Z MOVES
COMPLETELY THROUGH SOUTHEAST IDAHO. NAM12 INDICATES SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN WEST CENTRAL WYOMING MID DAY AND THAT SHOULD
BE FAVORABLE FOR WINDS IN THE EASTERN MAGIC VALLEY AND LOWER SNAKE
PLAIN. NAM12 DOES INDICATE 40KTS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER IN THE
VICINITY OF POMERELLE SKI AREA. THEREFORE EXPECT WINDY CONDITIONS
ACROSS CASSIA COUNTY WITH AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. A
WIND ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR AREAS FROM BURLEY TO POCATELLO
ALL THOUGH POCATELLO MAY BE MARGINAL. MOISTURE IS LIMITED...EXPECT
ONLY AN INCH OR TWO IN THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND EASTERN
HIGHLANDS...SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH LITTLE ACCUMULATION IN THE
VALLEYS.

STRATUS SHOULD REDEVELOP IN THE UPPER VALLEY TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH
SOME OF THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE MOVED DOWN VALLEY TODAY WITH
EASTERLY SURFACE WINDS. STRATUS THAT REFORMS TONIGHT SHOULD SCOUR
OUT WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE TUESDAY.

WEDNESDAY MORNING LOWS DEPEND HEAVILY ON CLOUD COVER. MODELS
INDICATE PLENTY OF COLD AIR ADVECTION IN NORTH FLOW ON DOWN STREAM
SIDE OF BUILDING RIDGE IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC....CLOSE TO 25F OF
COOLING. THAT COULD BE ENOUGH TO PUT STANLEY NEAR 30F BELOW ZERO
AND PORTIONS OF THE UPPER SNAKE VALLEY 5 TO 10 BELOW ZERO. EXPECT
NORTH WINDS AROUND 10 MPH OVERNIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING IN THE
ARCO DESERT AREA AND EXIT OF THE BIG AND LITTLE LOST RIVER
VALLEYS. THEREFORE HAVE ISSUED A WIND CHILL WATCH FOR THAT AREA.
CLOUD COVER AND A FEW MOUNTAIN SNOW SHOWERS ALONG THE WYOMING
BORDER SHOULD LIMIT MORNING TEMPERATURES ON THE EAST SIDE OF
FORECAST AREA. RS

.LONG TERM...THU THROUGH NEXT MON NIGHT.  LONGWAVE PROGS INDICATE
THAT HIGH PRESSURE IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL INTENSIFY THROUGH SAT
AND THE RIDGE-TROUGH PATTERN WILL AMPLIFY.  ON SUN...THE UPPER LEVEL
HIGH STARTS RETROGRADE MOVEMENT AND LOW CENTERED OVER BAFFIN ISLAND
DOMINATES THE LONGWAVE PATTERN ALL THE WAY INTO THE WESTERN STATES
INCLUDING THE GEM STATE.  THE EXTENDED PERIOD OF NORTHERLY FLOW
SHOULD KEEP IT QUITE COLD AND FAIRLY DRY WITH LITTLE MOISTURE TO
WORK WITH.  THIS IS SEEN IN GUIDANCE WITH COLDER THAN NORMAL HIGHS
AND LOWS...WARMING SLIGHTLY AS THE DAYS PROGRESS WITH NEARLY CLEAR
SKIES ALOFT.  AS THE CYCLONIC CURVATURE STARTS TO DOMINATE...WOULD
EXPECT POPS TO INCREASE.  FOR THE DETAILS...ECMWF AND OPERATIONAL
GFS ARE IN AGREEMENT THROUGH FRI NIGHT...THEN BEGIN TO DIVERGE WITH
HANDLING OF ONE SHORTWAVE WHICH IS RIDING DOWN THE LONGWAVE RIDGE.
GFS BRINGS IT RIGHT OVERHEAD SAT NIGHT...ECMWF IS 12 HOURS SLOWER
WITH LOW OVERHEAD ON SUN AFTERNOON.  AFTERWARDS...GFS AND ECMWF
START AGREEING AGAIN WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW STALLING OUT OVER THE
WESTERN STATES AND REMAINING QUASISTATIONARY OVER NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND NORTHERN NEVADA.  THIS PUTS AN AREA OF UPPER LEVEL
DIFFLUENCE VERY CLOSE TO THE FORECAST AREA...SO WOULD EXPECT
PRECIPITATION TO BE BEST AT THE TAIL END FOR THIS PERIOD.  THIS IS
BROUGHT OUT IN THE LATEST GFSX MOS GUIDANCE WITH MID- TO HIGH CHANCE
POPS DEVELOPING ON SUN AFTERNOON/EVE.  MESSICK

&&

.AVIATION...TONIGHT SHOULD BE LAST DAY OF STRATUS AND FOG HAMPERING
AIRDROME OPERATIONS.  INCOMING FRONT SHOULD BRING ENOUGH WIND DURING
THE VERY LATE NIGHT HOURS TONIGHT TO MIX OUT THE MOIST BOUNDARY
LAYER THAT HAS PLAGUED THE EASTERN MAGIC VALLEY AND SNAKE RIVER
PLAIN FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS.  WACHTER WIND STUDY SUGGESTS NEAR
HIGH WIND WARNING WINDS EVEN AT 15/12Z TUE MORNING.  VERY LITTLE
MOISTURE WITH THIS FRONT SO SHOWER ACTIVITY LIMITED TO VICINITY
REMARKS.  MESSICK

&&

.PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WIND ADVISORY FROM 5 AM TO 4 PM MST TUESDAY FOR IDZ017-021.

WIND CHILL WATCH FROM TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING
FOR IDZ019-020-032.
