AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPOKANE WA
1034 AM PDT SUN MAY 15 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A VERY WET PACIFIC LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN TO
THE INLAND NORTHWEST THROUGH MONDAY. THIS WEATHER SYSTEM ALONG WITH
RECENT WARMER TEMPERATURES AND MELTING SNOW WILL CONTRIBUTE TO RIVER
FLOODING AS WELL THROUGH MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW
NORMAL SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THERE WILL BE A SLOW WARMING TREND
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WITH MAINLY A FEW AFTERNOON AND
EVENING MOUNTAIN SHOWERS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
SATELLITE INDICATES A VERY MOIST DEFORMATION BAND ON THE NORTHEAST
FLANK OF A DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOW CIRCULATING OFF THE CALIFORNIA
COAST. REGIONAL RADAR INDICATES THE DENSE SHOWER ACTIVITY
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BAND HAS BEEN CONFINED TO SOUTH OF A LINE
FROM OMAK TO LEWISTON. LATEST MODELS RUNS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH EACH OTHER AND PLAUSIBLE AGAINST SATELLITE AND RADAR
EXTRAPOLATION. THROUGH THE REST OF TODAY EXPECT THIS SHOWER AXIS
TO MIGRATE NORTHWARD WITH DETERIORATING CONDITIONS THROUGH OUT
THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN REACHES OF THE FORECAST AREA. BY LATE
AFTERNOON SHOWERS WILL BE COMMON OVER ALL ZONES. THE THUNDERSTORM
THREAT AXIS TODAY WILL LIKELY LAY OVER THE IDAHO PANHANDLE AND
NORTHEASTERN ZONES WHERE SUBSTANTIAL MORNING SUNBREAKS WILL ALLOW
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW HUNDRED JOULES OF SB CAPE BY AFTERNOON.
THUS...IN THOSE AREA WHERE SHOWERS ARE ALREADY OCCURRING...LITTLE
IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY. IN THOSE
AREAS WHERE SHOWERS HAVE NOT YET BEGUN...THE THREAT WILL ONLY
INCREASE AS THE DAY WEARS ON.

THE CONTINUING SHOWERS WILL ONLY AGGRAVATE THE CURRENT HYDROLOGY
CONCERNS...AND NUMEROUS HYDROLOGICAL PRODUCTS REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR
AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS. ONLY MINOR UPDATES NECESSARY FOR ZONE AND
STATE FORECASTS. /FUGAZZI

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS...MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND A DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS TODAY IN THE
BASIN AND EAST SLOPES OF THE CASCADES. MODERATE INSTABILITY OVER
THE IDAHO PANHANDLE AND MOUNTAINS NORTHEAST OF THE BASIN WILL
CREATE A THREAT OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
THIS EVENING. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON
FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND WILL SHIFT THE FOCUS OF THE HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION TO THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN AREAS OF THE
FORECAST AREA. IN THIS FRONTAL PRECIPITATION BAND MVFR CEILINGS AND
VIS WILL BE COMMON WITH OCCASIONAL IFR CEILINGS POSSIBLE LATER
TONIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING OVER THE EASTERN TAF SITES OF KPUW AND
POSSIBLY THE KGEG VCNTY TAF SITES. /MJF
