THROUGH CENTRAL OR THIS AFTERNOON GENERATING CONVECTIVE
STORMS...MAINLY TO THE WEST AND NORTH OF THE PIH FORECAST AREA.
SOME STORMS HAVE MOVED THROUGH THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND BEGINNING
TO SEE ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OVER OTHER MOUNTAINOUS REGIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA. POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED STORMS PRODUCING FLASH
FLOODING OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND WINDS/HAIL STILL A
CONCERN. FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THE SUN
VALLEY AND STANLEY BASIN AREAS INTO THIS EVENING. UPPER LOW WILL
SWING NORTHEAST INTO THE ID PANHANDLE OVERNIGHT AND THE THREAT OF
CONVECTIVE SHOWERS WILL MOVE NORTH INTO WESTERN MONTANA. SOUTHERN
IDAHO REMAINS UNDER CYCLONIC FLOW THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING WITH AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING THROUGH SE IDAHO TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
ASSOCIATED MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY APPEARS LIMITED WITH THIS
FEATURE. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL SHIFT OVER THE AREA FOR
WEDNESDAY...BRINGING DRIER AND WARMER CONDITIONS.  DSH

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL
REMAIN IN PLACE THURSDAY...HOWEVER ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL
MOVE INTO THE PAC NW COAST AND MOVED THROUGH THE REGION THURSDAY
NIGHT. THIS FEATURE IS FAIRLY BROAD AND EMBEDDED IN RELATIVELY
ZONAL WESTERLY FLOW SO THE THREAT OF ISOLATED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS RETURNS. THIS SYSTEM IS FAIRLY SHALLOW AND THEREFORE
EXPECT ONLY MINIMAL COOLING OF TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHS REMAINING
IN THE 80S FOR THE MAJORITY OF SOUTHEAST IDAHO.  DSH

&&

.AVIATION...SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE SLIDING EASTWARD AND SHOULD
PRODUCE TSRA...POSSIBLY SOME GS THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY

.FIRE WEATHER...VERY ACTIVE CONVECTION EXPECTED TONIGHT WITH SEVERE
POTENTIAL FORECASTED ALONG THE NORTHERN PART OF THE IDAHO-WYOMING

LOW STILL EXPECTED THU NIGHT/FRI.  LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES OVER
EASTERN IDAHO THROUGH SAT FOR CONTINUE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...THOUGH AGAIN MAINLY OVER ROUGH TERRAIN.  NO
SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE BEING ADVECTED IN SO WOULD EXPECT DRY
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WHEN IT OCCURS.  TEMPERATURES WILL START TO
GET WARMER THAN NORMAL PRIOR TO THE THU NIGHT/FRI SHORTWAVE...THEN
COOL TO NEAR NORMAL.  JET STREAM NEVER WANDERING VERY FAR FROM IDAHO
AND SO AFTERNOONS AND EARLY EVENINGS SHOULD BE BREEZY TO
