AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
142 PM MDT SUN MAR 20 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS COMING ONSHORE OVER NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. A WARM FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW IS MOVING
THROUGH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL TURN THE WINDS
SOUTHEASTERLY. THIS FLOW IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE A LONG DURATION
SNOW FOR PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WHICH WILL PERSIST
INTO MONDAY NIGHT. ACCUMULATING SNOW LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
FLUCTUATING THROUGHOUT THIS EVENT. SNOW LEVELS IN THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS WILL BE RISING TO 6000 FEET BY AFTERNOON BUT SETTLING TO
VALLEY FLOORS DURING THE NIGHT. SIGNIFICANT SNOWS ARE LIKELY FOR
PARTS BUT NOT ALL OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. THESE SIGNIFICANT
SNOWS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE UPSLOPE AREAS FACING THE SNAKE PLAIN.
THIS AREA LIES WITHIN A LINE FROM GALENA SUMMIT TO THE CHILLY
AREA TO MONIDA PASS TO SPENCER TO DUBOIS TO BUTTE CITY AND
RICHFIELD. THE VALLEYS IN THIS AREA ARE UNDER A WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY FOR 5 TO 10 INCHES OF SNOW WHILE THE MOUNTAINS IN THIS
AREA ABOVE 7500 FEET WILL SEE 1 TO 2 FEET OF NEW SNOW.

THE LOW PRESSURE WILL ARRIVE MONDAY NIGHT AND EXIT THE AREA
TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL PRODUCE THE BEST CHANCES FOR
PRECIPITATION. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE RELATIVELY
LIGHT FOR THE REMAINDER OF EAST IDAHO...ALTHOUGH THE DRIGGS AREA
COULD SEE 3 TO 5 INCHES MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING.

BRISK CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AS WELL...SO THERE COULD BE SOME
AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW...ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA FROM
RICHFIELD TO ARCO TO MONIDA SUMMIT.

VALLE

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY. 12Z GFS/00Z ECMWF
CONTINUE TO SHOW AN ACTIVE SPRING-LIKE PATTERN THROUGHOUT THE
EXTENDED PERIOD WITH TIMING ISSUES CREATING SOME DIFFICULTY WITH
REGARDS TO NAILING DOWN THE ONSET OF ANY ONE PARTICULAR SYSTEM. THUS
WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE MENTION OF PRECIPITATION THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD
WITH TEMPERATURES RUNNING AT OR SLIGHTLY BELOW CLIMATE NORMALS.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE POCATELLO ID
417 AM MDT SUN MAR 20 2011

UPPER SNAKE RIVER PLAIN-LOWER SNAKE RIVER PLAIN-
SOUTH CENTRAL HIGHLANDS-CARIBOU HIGHLANDS-
CACHE VALLEY/IDAHO PORTION-WASATCH MOUNTAINS/IDAHO PORTION-
BIG AND LITTLE WOOD RIVER REGION-LOST RIVER/PAHSIMEROI-
417 AM MDT SUN MAR 20 2011

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR EASTERN IDAHO.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

RAIN AND SNOW WILL BEGIN LATER TODAY AND CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT
ACROSS EASTERN IDAHO. THE HIGHEST CHANCES WILL BE ACROSS THE
NORTHERN SNAKE PLAIN AND ADJACENT AREAS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS
EASTWARD TOWARD WEST YELLOWSTONE. ELSEWHERE....POCKETS OF RAIN AND
SNOW ARE POSSIBLE. STRONG SOUTHERLY DOWNSLOPE WINDS ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE SNAKE PLAIN AND ADJACENT VALLEYS
OF THE SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS. SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS OF 10-25 MPH
ARE FORECAST TODAY...WITH SPEEDS UP TO 30 MPH SUSTAINED ON THE
HIGHER PEAKS OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. ACROSS THE SOUTHERN SNAKE
PLAIN AND SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS...25 TO 35 MPH WILL BE COMMON WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER SPEEDS LIKELY. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 40S AND 50S FOR
MOST AREAS...DROPPING TO NEAR 30 ON THE HIGHER PEAKS OF THE
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND UPPER SNAKE HIGHLANDS WEST OF MONIDA PASS.
LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE AT OR BELOW FREEZING EXCEPT ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN SNAKE PLAIN AND SOME OF THE SOUTHERN VALLEYS WHERE WINDS
WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO 40.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

A POTENT STORM SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO BRING RAIN AND SNOW TO
EASTERN IDAHO...BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD LATER IN THE DAY AND INTO
THE EVENING. THE POTENTIAL FOR MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY
PRECIPITATION IS THERE. THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS OF SNOW WILL BE ACROSS
THE NORTHERN SNAKE PLAIN AS WELL AS PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS AND UPPER SNAKE HIGHLANDS. THOSE AREAS COULD SEE 4 TO 10
INCHES OF SNOW TOTAL ESPECIALLY ABOVE 6500 FEET THROUGH MONDAY
AFTERNOON. WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL LIMIT SNOW AMOUNTS TO LITTLE
IF ANY ACCUMULATION ACROSS THE REST OF THE SNAKE PLAIN. THE REST
OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WILL ONLY SEE A TRACE TO A COUPLE OF
INCHES OF SNOW. THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN MOUNTAINS WILL SEE TRACE
AMOUNTS TO A COUPLE OF INCHES ON THE PEAKS. ALL OF AREAS OF
EASTERN IDAHO ARE SUBJECT TO THE POSSIBILITY OF MODERATE TO
LOCALLY HEAVY AMOUNTS OF WATER WITH THIS EVENT. THE POTENTIAL FOR
HIGHER WATER LEVELS AND POCKETS OF STANDING WATER/FLOODING WILL
EXIST AS RAIN COMBINES WITH MELTING SNOW AT LOWER ELEVATIONS. THE
POTENTIAL ALSO EXISTS FOR A THUNDERSTORM OR TWO TO DEVELOP WITH
THIS SYSTEM. AS THE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS EASTERN IDAHO MONDAY
NIGHT...THE MAIN FOCUS FOR RAIN AND SNOW WILL SHIFT NORTHWARD
TOWARD THE MONTANA BORDER AND UPPER SNAKE HIGHLANDS. BREEZY
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE WITH WINDS BECOMING MORE WEST AND
SOUTHWEST WITH TIME. SNOW LEVELS WILL BE DROPPING TO VALLEYS
FLOORS BUT MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION FOR THE SNAKE PLAIN WILL HAVE
ENDED BY THEN.

RAIN AND SNOW WILL LINGER ON TUESDAY MAINLY IN THE
MOUNTAINS ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE FORECAST AREA.
A SERIES OF STORMS WILL KEEP RAIN AND SNOW IN THE PICTURE THROUGH
THE REST OF NEXT WEEK.
