WIND OF THIS STRENGTH CAN ALSO CAUSE LOW VISIBILITY IN BLOWING
SNOW...INCREASING THE DANGER FOR TRAVELERS. THE MORNING

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
150 PM MST SAT JAN 26 2008

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. NORTHERN STREAM UPPER TROF
APPROACHING VANCOUVER ISLAND...WHILE THE SOUTHERN STREAM CLOSED LOW
CONTINUES TO SPIN NEAR 130W OFF THE CEN CA COAST. STARTING TO SEE
PRECIP MOVING INTO WRN ID THIS AFTN AS PAC MSTR FLOWS IN ON THE SW
FLOW. BY SUN MORNING...MSTR FROM THE SOUTHERN STREAM LOW JOINS WITH
THE NORTHERN STREAM FLOW OVER ID. THIS IS WHEN PRECIP RAPIDLY
INCREASES IN BOTH COVERAGE AND INTENSITY...STILL FAVORING THE
UPSLOPE AREAS OF THE CEN MTNS AND THE UPPER SNAKE HIGHLANDS. THE
SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS AND THE ADJACENT SNAKE RIVER PLAIN WILL BE
HEAVILY SHADOWED DUE TO THE INCREASING SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS.
ALREADY STARTING TO SEE STRONGER WINDS COMING THRU THE VALLEYS OF
THE SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS AS PRESSURES FALL TO THE NORTH WITH THE
APPROACHING NORTHERN STREAM SYSTEM. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE...AS
THE SOUTHERLY SFC WINDS WILL BE ENHANCED BY THE EXPECTED 60KT SW
WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS ON SUNDAY. SNOW LOOKS LIKE IT WILL
REACH MAXIMUM INTENSITY IN THE MTNS SUN AFTN/EVE...BUT IT WILL
CONTINUE WELL INTO MONDAY. THE STRONG WINDS WILL RESULT IN BLOWING
AND DRIFTING SNOW...PARTICULARLY IN THE PASSES.

SNOW WILL BEGIN TO ACCUMULATE IN THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE SNAKE
RIVER PLAIN BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WHERE SOUTHERLY FLOW IS UPSLOPE.
THE SOUTHERN PARTS WILL STAY SHADOWED THRU MUCH OF SUNDAY DUE TO THE
DOWNSLOPING OF THE SOUTHERLY WINDS. THIS IS MAINLY ALONG THE
INTERSTATE CORRIDOR FROM BURLEY TO BLACKFOOT. TEMPS WILL BE WARM
ENOUGH ON SUNDAY THAT A SNOW/RAIN MIX IS PROBABLE. WINDS ARE ALSO
EXPECTED TO BE VERY STRONG THROUGH THE SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS AND THE
ADJACENT SNAKE RIVER PLAIN. BY SUNDAY NIGHT...TEMPS SHOULD COOL
ENOUGH TO CHANGE ALL PRECIP OVER TO SNOW. THE UPPER VALLEY IS
EXPECTED TO PICK UP SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL SINCE THE SOUTHERLY FLOW IS
NOT DOWNSLOPE IN THAT AREA. THE AREAS ALONG THE INTERSTATE CORRIDOR
SHOULD GET SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW AROUND THE TIME THE COLD FRONT
PASSES EARLY MONDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL SHIFT AROUND TO THE WEST...
AND REMAIN STRONG THRU THE DAY MONDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN BLOWING
AND DRIFTING SNOW IN THE SNAKE RIVER PLAIN/EASTERN MAGIC VALLEY
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.

BY MON NIGHT...THE SYSTEM WILL HAVE PASSED AND PRECIP TAPERED OFF TO
SNOW SHOWERS. COLDER AND UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THRU
TUE...WITH ISOLD TO SCT SNOW SHOWERS. HEDGES

.LONG TERM...UESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY.  EXTENDED MODELS IN
GENERAL AGREEMENT ON MOSTLY PROGRESSIVE PATTERN FOR THE LATTER HALF
OF NEXT WEEK.  MOST NOTICEABLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS DAYS RUNS WAS
GFS TRENDING TOWARD MORE ZONAL/BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW REGIME THAN SHARP
RIDGE-TROF COUPLET PATTERN.  EITHER WAY...PACNW AND GREAT BASIN
REMAIN UNDER COOL AND MOIST PAC AIRMASS WITH SHORTWAVE TROFS
TRANSITING THRU THE CWA EVERY 24-36 HRS WITH MINOR RIDGING BETWEEN
SYSTEMS.   QPF WITH EACH TROF PASSAGE STILL FORECAST TO BE ON THE
LOW SIDE SO ONLY LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED.  NOT MUCH
VARIABILITY SEEN IN TEMPS OVER THE PERIOD EITHER...WITH BOTH MAX AND
MIN VALUES STAYING NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL WITH NO SIGN RIGHT
NOW OF SUBZERO VALUES.

WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND LOWER TO MVFR/IFR CATEGORIES THRU THE
DAY WITH SCT -RASN ACROSS THE SNAKE RIVER PLAIN AND -SN ABOVE 6500
FT FROM SUN AFTN ONWARD.  SNOW MAY BE OCCASIONALLY MODERATE TO HEAVY
WITH LIFR CIGS/VIS AT AIRFIELDS IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN MTNS SUN
