AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
557 AM MDT FRI APR 2 2010

.UPDATE...DECIDED TO ISSUE HIGH WIND WATCH IN ORDER TO HIGHLIGHT
THE WEATHER MOST LIKELY TO IMPACT THE MOST AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IN THE
FORECAST AREA. STILL...COULD SEE IT REDUCED TO WIND ADVISORY AS
THE WIND STRENGTH IS BORDERLINE AS MENTIONED BELOW.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 339 AM MDT FRI APR 2 2010/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUN NIGHT. LAST OF SOME LINGERING
SHOWER ACTIVITY IS MOVING THROUGH THE CARIBOU HIGHLANDS AT THIS
HOUR AND SHOULD WRAP UP BY 02/12Z. NEXT UPSTREAM WAVE IS JUST
CROSSING 130W WITH BAROCLINIC LEAF JUST GETTING ONSHORE IN WA AND
OR. PRECIPITATION MAY DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON IN THE EXTREME
WESTERN END OF THE FORECAST AREA...BUT TONIGHT APPEARS TO BE THE
HEAVY PRECIPITATION TIME. RAIN AND SNOW SHOULD CONTINUE INTO
SATURDAY BUT STRONG CLEARING FOR SAT AFTERNOON IS EXPECTED. SNOW
QPF HAS REMAINED STEADY USING THE SREF AS AN AVERAGE...SO HAVE
CONVERTED WATCH TO WARNING ABOVE 8000 FT ELEVATION AND ISSUED
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR ELEVATIONS BELOW THAT. ALSO...THE
UPPER SNAKE HIGHLANDS ALSO APPEAR TO BE RECEIVING SOME MODERATE
SNOW AND HAVE ISSUED AN ADVISORY FOR THAT ZONE AS WELL. THE OTHER
MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM IS THE WIND ON SATURDAY. WITH THE STRONG
UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF A 120-PLUS KT JET STREAK
DIRECTLY OVERHEAD...STRONG 500MB AND 700MB WIND...AND EXCELLENT
12MB MSLP GRADIENT ALL LINING UP...IT COULD BE A HIGH WIND WARNING
NEEDED FOR SAT. WILL LET ANOTHER SHIFT TAKE A SECOND LOOK AT THIS
SITUATION. TEMPERATURES ALSO DIFFICULT AS WINDS SHOULD KEEP MANY
LOCATIONS WITH AN WARM OVERNIGHT LOW WITH ALL THE ADIABATIC MIXING
EXPECTED BY 03/12Z. THEN AS WIND SUBSIDES SAT NIGHT THE OVERNIGHT
LOW SHOULD DROP BACK INTO THE 20S AND SINGLE DIGITS FOR THE ALPINE
BASINS. ANOTHER WEAK SHORTWAVE SAT NIGHT THAT HAS A FARTHER SOUTH
STORM TRACK WILL BRING A THREAT OF PRECIPITATION TO THE FORECAST
AREA. FOR SUN/SUN NIGHT...SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF NEXT SHORTWAVE
BRINGS SOME OVERRUNNING THAT COULD PRODUCE SOME LIGHT
PRECIPITATION. THE WARM ADVECTION WILL LIKELY MAKE MOST OF THIS A
RAIN EVENT WITH TEMPERATURES STILL WARMER THAN SAT DESPITE THE
RETURN OF CLOUDINESS AND PRECIPITATION. MESSICK

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THE 00Z ECMWF HAS MOVED CLOSER
IN AGREEMENT WITH THE THE SYSTEM COMING IN ON MONDAY. BOTH MODELS
SHOW SOME NEGATIVE TILT BUT THE TROUGH ALSO STRETCHES WITH A GOOD
DEAL OF THE ENERGY PASSING WELL SOUTH OF IDAHO. A 700 MB TROUGH IN
THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FLOW TRACKS THROUGH THE SOUTH CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS AND CARIBOU HIGHLANDS. POPS WERE INCREASED TO LIKELY
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS. WITH 1000-500 MB THICKNESS VALUES
ONLY SUPPORTING DAYTIME VALLEY HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
40S...SNOW LEVELS WERE LOWERED SOME TO GIVE MIXED PRECIPITATION
WORDING AT LOWER ELEVATIONS. GFS CONTINUES TO BE FASTER THE REST OF
THE WEEK...PROBABLY TOO FAST. A TRANSITORY HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IS
PRESENT IN BOTH MODELS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY PROVIDING
WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS. RS

AVIATION...THE LAST OF THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM THE TROUGH
EXITING TO THE EAST IS MOVING OUT OF IDAHO THIS MORNING. SOME LOCAL
LOW STRATUS AND IFR CEILINGS STILL REMAIN NEAR THE EASTERN BENCHES
OF THE SNAKE PLAIN...PARTICULARLY AROUND KIDA AND KRXE BUT THAT
SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED THROUGH ABOUT 15Z. THE NEXT SURFACE LOW TRACKS
INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA THIS EVENING WITH THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT
TRAILING SOUTHWARD AND PASSING KSUN NEAR 05Z AND KPIH ABOUT 08Z.
SOUTH WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON FROM KIDA SOUTHWARD
AND INCREASE TO 25 TO 35 MPH OVERNIGHT SHIFTING TO WEST-SOUTHWEST
BEHIND THE FRONT. IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITY LIKELY WITH SNOW AT
KSUN 00Z TO 06Z AND KIDA/KPIH 07Z TO 12Z. RS
